The latest beta release for the upcoming Firefox 2.0 browser is ready for download via mozilla.org.

FirefoxHere’s what’s new:

  • New look and feel
  • Improved tabbed browsing
  • Improved session restore feature
  • New Windows installer
  • Built in phishing protection
  • Enhanced search capabilities
  • Inline spell checking
  • Live titles
  • Improved add-ons manager

For more info on improvements, view the Firefox Beta 2 release notes.

So far, the beta 2 release seems fairly impressive. I like the new look, the browsing experience is smooth, and there hasn’t been any crashes (a major problem with the beta 1 candidate.)

The finished version of Firefox 2.0 is scheduled for release on October 24th.
