Aside from loading things faster, I just noticed it spell-checks everything you write.

I know a lot of people could use that, so I decided to be nice (read: pompous asshole) and provide you with a link.

Enjoy.

As far as personal experiences go, I don't think I'm crazy. It loads stuff up faster than 1.5 did.

Do they have custom themes for 2.0 yet?

Not my black one yet, nope, but the Noia will suffice until that one's updated. There are only a handful that are 2.0 compliant.

Well as long as it improves your grammar before you hit "post", gray boxes or not, I'd say it's worth it.

Smart people usually have a lot to say, which benefits everyone in one way or another, and it's partly wasted when it's incoherent.

To be honest ASpellfox does this just fine already

Yes, but that's optional. This one's embedded in the options to be on by default.

Firefox's tagline should be "Trying to make the internet better by annoying one grammar illiterate blog writing dip**** at a time".

I'm hopeful that people who get the 2.0 will improve their grammar when the thing tells them they can't type.

Hopefully 2.0 will focus not so much on trivial things like proof-writing, and actually focus on being more than a pure horse**** browser that consumes more resources than the OS it runs on.

if Firefox crashes, when you start it up the next time, it will ask you if you would like to re-open all the tabs you had open when it crashed!

Trulies. Opera had that feature for some time now. The spell checker sounds cool, but not revolutionary. If I'm in a hurry I use google. That's my proof reader. :)

I hope they fixed the damn memory leaks. That was one thing that bothered me the most about FF. It could sometime allocate up to 150 MB of memory,

You can wait for them to fix it, or you can get Opera now! :D

Does anyone know how you can remove the search bar thingy from the interface? I've found options to remove the individual search engines (all but one of them anyway) but I can't get rid of it all together.

Opera is for pussies.

Why would you want to?

Because I already have Google.co.uk set to my home page and don't need a search bar cluttering up the interface.

yeah because we really need ad-supported hackware that does some of the same ****ty things that M$ does (adds new "features" to the standards)
