Firefox 2 has just been released, and after using it for 24 hours, I want to say that this is the fastest browser that I have ever used. The acceleration is especially apparent in MacOS, where Firefox 1.5 used to be sluggish. Every thing felt snappy and instant, only your internet bandwidth limits your speed now!
Other notable changes includes a built-in spell checker (yeah!!!), a new default theme, antiphishing, and a close tab button on every tab. But still for the speed alone, you MUST upgrade!!! :D
Some caveats, though. I now have many unsupported extensions, and there was a crash or two from time to time. But Firefox now recovers right from where you crashed, showing what you left open before the crash, so that makes things a little easier.
