Firefox 2 is now available from Mozilla! W00t!!

For the uninitiated, Firefox is an alternative web browser that is generally more user friendly, secure and compliant than Internet Explorer. It is also very customizable through add-ins, themes and lots of easy-to-use options. I wrote about the initial release previously.

If you’re already a Firefox evangelist, you won’t notice too many new features in this release. However, if you’re a newcomer to the Firefox bandwagon then this release is full of ways to make the migration from your old browser as easy as possible.

You can read the details at the Firefox home page.

I was surprised at how many of my extensions worked when I upgraded (especially Greasemonkey, which seems to be left out in the cold lately).

Other then that, there isn't that much in terms of features but I love the new add-on's manager and the new feed UI (when clicking on the rss icon to add a live bookmark).

Also, not to get all smarky, but you have to love the (http://blogs.msdn.com/ie/archive/2006/10/24/ie7-hits-the-street.aspx) post from IEBlog concerning the release of IE7. Yargh, let's pat ourselves on the back for releasing a product containing fixes that should of been released about five years ago... yaaah! :) "Clearly, we expect IE7 adoption to really take off then." - yeah, it's pretty easy to pad your numbers when you force it via automatic updates.. *sigh*
