Default Firefox Version 2 Out Now

There's plenty of Firefox fans here. If you hadn't heard, or had it automatically updated, Firefox Version 2 is now available. And, as I just spelled "available" wrongly, I can see that the integrated spell checker, one of the new features, is working well.

If it hasn't auto updated, go to www.getfirefox.com

It is an improvement over V1.5

I have downloaded the new version but my email link is no longer at the top and I can't find the spell checker anywhere.

The spell checker was integrated into the copy I downloaded. All I had to do was mis-spell a word in a box such as the one I'm typing in at the moment, and it would highlight the wrongly spelled word with a red underline.

Select Tools> Options> General> Check my spelling as I type.

You shouldn't need any add-ons of plug-ins.

I'm afraid I don't know about the integrated email button, I never bothered with one before, so I don't have one now.
