According to reports, the final version of Firefox 2.0 will be available for download sometime today.

The final version is very similar to the last release candidate, RC3, which reportedly got a very good response, and has been hence finalized as the final version, to be branded as Firefox 2.0.

Firefox 2 includes features such as built-in anti-phishing controls, built-in RSS and XML feed-viewing capabilities, and a new inline spell checker. It comes with an improved tabs feature, including closing and reopening of individual tabs more easily, plus a history of previous tabs opened.

According to experts though, users of Firefox 1.5 will not find much of a difference between the two, as far as user interface is concerned.
Firefox 2.0 will be available for download from the Mozilla homepage or from getfirefox.com.

Interestingly, the release of Firefox 2.0 comes soon after that of Internet Explorer 7 by Microsoft.

Again good work done by firefox 2.0.Interestingly the look does not changed but no problem u can download tons of them that available for this browser.Feature wise this browser worth using 5 good things which I like are: 1)Excellent TAB management. 2)Restore crashed session. 3)Restart FF after installing extension as it is without bothering the site will be miss even ur opened gmail account can be access without login again. 4)Smart spell check ie check ur spell as u type it will show red mark like MS Word. 5)Don't worry after installing FF u will lose ur bookmark and other setting it will be their as it is and do regular check up for update of extension most of them updated at the time of installation.
