While Firefox 2.0 isn't expected for a final release until early 2007, the second Beta of Mozilla Firefox 2.0 (Bon Echo) has been released. Of the many changes in this beta release include an updated Firefox 2 theme and visual effects, built-in phishing detector, enhanced search capabilities, improved tabbed browsing, browser resume session, preview/subscribe to RSS feeds, in-line spell checker, live titles, and improved add-on manager. The various Beta packages can be downloaded from Mozilla.

The new theme is definitely a step in the right direction, IMO. Plus with the recent deal that some company will provide branding, things are looking good in this area. Now if only they'd concentrate on making Firefox less resource-intensive...

What resource problems do you encounter? There is the known memory leaks (or "features"), but I haven't come across any other resource problems, though maybe I should step back and use some common hardwareMichael Larabel

Don't you wish Firefox was a little less resource-hungry? For instance, open a few websites in 10+ tabs at the same time, and watch your CPU (and memory!) go down the drain. When switching between lots of tabs, it's slow and "jerky". Those kinds of things. Although, Swiftfox eliminates a lot of those problems since it's Arch-based.
