Just a few days after M$ released its latest version of its own browser IE7 (that I was not even curious to test), yesterday (20061024) was released the latest version of Firefox v2.0. The changes we can see in this new version compared to v1.5 are not so big as with IE7 vs. IE6, and they include:

• Visual Refresh
• Built-in phishing protection
• Enhanced search capabilities
• Improved tabbed browsing
• Resuming your browsing session
• Previewing and subscribing to Web feeds
• Inline spell checking
• Live Titles
• Improved Add-ons manager
• JavaScript 1.7
• Extended search plugin format
• Updates to the extension system
• Client-side session and persistent storage
• SVG text
• New Windows installer
