Version: Mozilla Firefox 2 RC1
Pros: Along with the features in v. 1.5, this version allows you to spell check in a field.
Cons: Not all extensions work, but that will probably be resolved when we get to the final release of v. 2.0.

Version: Mozilla Firefox 2 RC1
Pros: Most if the outer changes with FF 2 is with the cleanness of the interface. Imagine FF 1.5 on Steroids. The interface is really nice. Nice, clean and simple, it allows everyone to be happy.
Another nice feature is the session manager. When you shut down FF, and open it again, it keeps a record of the last session and allows you to bring back all those tabs.
The program comes with a built-in spell checker, and an anti-phishing tool. (Obviously to complete with IE7) The Google search feature has been improved, with search suggestions. By default, the program opens new windows in a new tab. The ad-ons manager includes both themes and extension all in one manager. And the coolest feature is the ability to reopen closed tabs.
Cons: Most extensions don't work with FF 2.0 yet.

Version: Mozilla Firefox 2 RC1
Pros: There isnt a huge visual different between B2 and RC1. The theme has changed a bit and the refresh button got a makeover. The most important improvements are stability and secruity and FF2 RC1 deliver that. It's fast, simple and easy to use.
Cons: I would like to see the startup speed improved, which is the only flaw in firefox. It isnt really a huge flaw but it would be nice to see it a bit faster.

Version: Mozilla Firefox 2 RC1
Pros: Love the idea that they added session maneger to it. Even though you can download the extension. Love the fact that Security is there number one priority. I use Opera and Firefox, Can't really say wich is better, But I like the extensions that you can get for Firefox and I like how Opera is complety costomizable. What I can't understand is why people would Prefer Internet Explorer over Opera or Firefox, why use a hollow browser when you can use a solid one.
Cons: As I said the main reason I like Firefox is because of it's extensions. But some extensions don't work with the new Firefox.
But I'm sure they'll fix this once it's released.
