Firefox 2.0 imminent

Firefox 2.0 beta is due to be released tomorrow.

This sort-of feels like an answer shot to Microsoft’s release of IE7 beta. I’ll be honest and admit I did not try the IE7 beta, and I really don’t plan to.

I will try the Firefox 2.0 beta. I have been using Flock since they released the beta of it a few weeks ago, but it’s not perfect, and I do still hold a special place in my (cold, black) heart for Firefox.

New features include a “un-close” tab button, for times when you closed a tab you decide you want back. Also, Opensearch has been implemented into the in-line search. Which may let me get my 1.57…% discount at Amazon again.

The browser has been feature-complete since alpha 1, so don’t expect too many surprise announcements. Honestly, I just want all my extensions to work and for the pages to come up snappy-like.
