I just downloaded and it seems to be faster than the other one and it has a pretty cool spell check feature to it, but that is all I have noticed different as of yet

Mine has some startup issues, but the spell check addition is definitely a nice touch.

happeharkore · 07-16-2006, 11:47 PM

Even this doesn't work for me. None of the settings/bookmarks save. Well, guess I'm staying with Opera.

The only thing highly noticable I've discovered is the spellcheck, which is very handy.

I'm VERY disappointed with Firefox... Every new version after 1.5 has given me problems with typing in these text boxes and copy/pasting stuff. I was hoping 2.0 would be correctly, but seeing as it's not, I'm probably going to use IE 7...
