The release notes offer the improvements. What's wrong is that IE7 doesn't offer the same list...;).

Funny thing for me, with the exception of the 'New Age' look and feel, IE7 reminds me of a 'New' release of a Firefox 1.

I suggest you get Firebug, it's really neat! It tells you Javascript errors, has a Javascript debugger (haven't tried it yet), and a very good DOM Inspector. It also tells you how many errors are on the page you are viewing in the status bar.

I'm on FireFox 2.0 now. Seems identical apart from theme change...

Just (oh cool - there's the spell checker) updated to 2.0 here at work. I had a few things not convert over well:

Extensions:
Fasterfox - I'll feel that
Tab Mix Plus
WeatherBug

Themes:
iFox Smooth
Phox IIXi

Here's hoping Fasterfox gets updated soon

The spell checker is a friggin awesome tool. I got almost all of my stuff working with other variations of tools. The only thing outstanding are the themes.

Yes, I am really enjoying the inline spell checker and retrieve recently closed tabs feature.

Well done Firefox.

Doesn't crash for me on this one: http://lcamtuf.coredump.cx/ffoxdie.html (which is linked as an exploit to the vulnerability you mentioned)

Gecko/20061010 Firefox/2.0 2003 Server crashes as well. It seems my browser at home is unaffected because it was upgraded from beta autoupgrade channel.
