It's also easy to reopen a tab that you've just closed using the right mouse button and there's a configurable history list of previous tabs you've had open. Other little features that could be deemed improvements include suggested searches when you type a word into search box, scrolling tabs when you have too many to fit on a single page and inline spell checking of text entered into web forms. More important than these minor usability features, however, is the anti-phishing security feature, which purports to warn users in advance when they look like they might be going to a dodgy web page. IE7 will also have a similar feature. Another handy feature is a session restore feature, which can resume your browsing session if there's a system crash. There's plenty more to look at like the ability to add RSS feeds as live bookmarks and more under the hood technical enhancements. However, to the ordinary web browsing user, the new Firefox will seem more like version 1.6 than version 2.0. {moscomment} |
