Mozilla Firefox 2.0 bèta 2
Er is een nieuwere versie beschikbaar van deze download.
Mozilla Firefox is een open-source browser gebaseerd op de snelle Gecko-engine. Met codenaam "Bon-Echo" is vandaag bèta 2 van Firefox 2.0 uitgekomen. Firefox is een erg populaire browser aan het worden, dit komt mede dankzij de tabbladen, pop-up blokkering en de uitschakeling van ActiveX waardoor vaak Spyware wordt verspreid.Enkele nieuwe functies die Firefox 2.0 gaat brengen:
- Phising filter
- Nieuwe look en feel
- Inline spellings-controle
- Beter beheer van tabs
- Verbeterde samenwerking met Web Feeds (RSS)
- Nieuwe installatie voor Windows (NSIS)
- Automatische reparatie van de browser bij crash
- Het terughalen van gesloten tabs
- Nieuwe microsummaries functies voor bladwijzers
- Ondersteuning voor scalable vector graphics (SVG)

Changelog:
* Visual Refresh: Firefox 2's theme and user interface have been updated to improve usability without altering the familiarity of the browsing experience. For instance, toolbar buttons now glow when you hover over them. We will continue to improve the look and feel throughout the release candidate process.* Built-in phishing protection: Phishing Protection warns users when they encounter suspected Web forgeries, and offers to return the user to their home page. Phishing Protection is turned on by default, and works by checking sites against either a local or online list of known phishing sites. This list is automatically downloaded and regularly updated when the Phishing Protection feature is enabled. Please note that at this time we are using a limited list to test the core Phishing Protection framework within the browser. Users are encouraged to wait until a future release of Firefox 2 to verify the accuracy of the list of Web forgeries.
* Enhanced search capabilities: Search term suggestions will now appear as users type in the integrated search box when using the Google, Yahoo! or Answers.com search engines. A new search engine manager makes it easier to add, remove and re-order search engines, and users will be alerted when Firefox encounters a website that offers new search engines that the user may wish to install.
* Improved tabbed browsing: By default, Firefox will open links in new tabs instead of new windows, and each tab will now have a close tab button. Power users who open more tabs than can fit in a single window will see arrows on the left and right side of the tab strip that let them scroll back and forth between their tabs. The History menu will keep a list of recently closed tabs, and a shortcut lets users quickly re-open an accidentally closed tab.
* Resuming your browsing session: The Session Restore feature restores windows, tabs, text typed in forms, and in-progress downloads from the last user session. It will be activated automatically when installing an application update or extension, and users will be asked if they want to resume their previous session after a system crash.
* Previewing and subscribing to Web feeds: Users can decide how to handle Web feeds (like this one), either subscribing to them via a Web service or in a standalone RSS reader, or adding them as Live Bookmarks. My Yahoo!, Bloglines and Google Reader come pre-loaded as Web service options, but users can add any Web service that handles RSS feeds.
* Inline spell checking: A new built-in spell checker enables users to quickly check the spelling of text entered into Web forms (like this one) without having to use a seperate application.
