Firefox 2.0[^], that is :-D It WILL break a lot of extensions (now officially called add-ons), but GreaseMonkey is there. You might want to wait for a week until everyone updates their add-ons to 2.0.

The cool thing is that it lets me know if a new version of the add-on is available, just click a button and it is installed! Wow! I just noticed the automatic spell-checking when writing this post :-D Best regards, Paul.

Yeah I downloaded it this morning. Someone here mentioned that SessionSaver functionality was included but I cant find it and my old extention doesnt work. Other than that it seems a bit of a non event
I think the SessionSaver only works when FF crashed. It does, however, have History > Recently Closed Tabs, which is good when you closed that tab by accident.

Do I need to manually add a dictionary before the spell-checking is enabled? It seems that I don't have spell-checking capabilities by default, but there's an option to add dictionary when I right-click.

I just switched to 1.5 when Code Project started displaying the lounge funky in 1.0.x. I think I'll wait at least six months. What I don't like about 1.5 is that hitting a link always loads a new tab, instead of running in the last one used. Guess people want that, but I grew accustomed. Hit all the news links I wanted and then surf backwards in the single window... oh well. . . such is the tide.
This statement is false.

Did you have an extension installed, or changed an option somewhere? AFAIK Firefox only opens in a new tab if the link targets a _blank or you specified it to open in a new tab/window.

Nope. Just upgraded through the browser itself, and blammo. But Shog's given me a fix... so I'm gonna fix it now. :-D And then go for a :beer:.

I should clarify, its when hitting a link outside the browser. When another application has a link it would load in the last used tab, but after the update it would open a new tab. I found the setting in Options - Tabs...

I cannot remember adding a spell-checker. But, right-click in a text box and see if the "Spell check this field" menu item is checked. Best regards, Paul.

If a link opens in a new tab, then that's something specified in the link, not the browser.

The version that was linked to by digg and slashdot was the British English version and was not supposed to be released today. Office Response[^]
Found on Bash.org [erno] hm. I've lost a machine.. literally _lost_. it responds to ping, it works completely, I just can't figure out where in my apartment it is.

I found it real easy to find I crashed FF 2.0 and when I started it again I was prompted to begin a new session or restore the previous :laugh: I guess it could be useful...
Where did my glasses go...
really useful when I have to restart FF because I installed/un-installed an addon(a restart browser button appears in the addons window), or need to restart windows because of some stupid program.
