(Please note: We do not recommend that anyone other than developers and testers download the Firefox 2 Beta 2 milestone release. It is intended for testing purposes only.) Firefox 2 Beta 2 is now available for download at http://www.mozilla.org/projects/bonecho/all-beta.html This is the fifth developer milestone focused on testing the core functionality provided by many new features and changes to the platform scheduled for Firefox 2. Ongoing planning for Firefox 2 can be followed at the Firefox 2 Planning Center, as well as in mozilla.dev.planning and on irc.mozilla.org in #bonecho. New features and changes in this milestone that require feedback include: * A new theme that updates Firefox's familiar interface * Built in Phishing Protection * Enhanced search engine management and search suggestions for Google, Yahoo! and Answers.com * Improvements to tabbed browsing, including the ability to re-open recently closed tabs * Firefox will resume from where you left off after a system crash or browser restart * Better support for previewing and subscribing to Web feeds * Inline spell checking in Web forms * The ability to create bookmarks with "Live Titles" for Web sites that offer microsummaries * New Add-ons manager that simplifies management of extensions and themes. * Support for JavaScript 1.7 * Extended search plugin format * Updates to the extension system to provide enhanced security and to allow for easier localization of extensions * Support for client-side session and persistent storage * Support for SVG text using svg:textPath * New Windows installer based on Nullsoft Scriptable Install System (You can find out more about all of these features in the "What's New" section of the release notes at http://www.mozilla.org/projects/bonecho/releases/2.0b2.html) The Firefox 2 Beta 2 project page makes it easy for testers to provide feedback and report bugs. You can download Firefox 2 Beta 2 builds for Windows, Mac OSX and Linux in several languages. Testers should also be sure to read the release notes to learn about known issues. Developers should look at the Firefox 2 for Developers article on the Mozilla Developer Center. (Note: Please do not link directly to the download site. Instead we strongly encourage you to link to this Firefox 2 Beta 2 milestone announcement so that everyone will know what this milestone is, what they should expect, and who should be downloading to participate in testing at this stage of development.) _______________________________________________ announce mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/announce
