Firefox 2

Since the announcement earlier this week I have been trying out the new version of Firefox.

I’m pretty impressed with it actually. I had been previously using Avant Browser as I liked the tabbed browsing and the resuming of browsing sessions when you close/re-open the browser.

These features and more have now been incorporated into Firefox!

Go give it a try!
