Firefox Features
There’s a lot to do on the Web, and Firefox 2
is full of helpful features to make your time online more
productive.
Improved Tabbed
Browsing
We love tabs as
much as you do, so Firefox 2 will open new web pages in tabs
by default. Each of those tabs has its own close button, but
don’t worry - if you accidentally close a tab, just go to the
History menu to bring it back from the list of “Recently
Closed Tabs.” You’ll never be crunched for space anymore,
either. When you have too many tabs open to comfortably fit in
a single window, scroll arrows will appear on either side, and
a button on the right side will always show you an
easy-to-read list of all your open tabs.
Spell Checking
Sometimes you’re in
a rush, and can’t remember if it’s “i” before “e” or the other
way around. Firefox 2 has built-in spell checking to keep you
from making any mistakes in your blog posts and Web-based
email, so you can worry about more important
things.
Search Suggestions
Some of the search
engines in Firefox 2 can read your mind, and actually suggest
search terms for what you’re looking for. Just start typing
into the Search bar, and a drop down list of suggestions will
appear. (Works for Google, Yahoo! and Answers.com.)
Session Restore
Losing your place
while you’re doing things on the Web is a pain. Now, with
Session Restore, if Firefox has to restart or closes when it
comes back you’ll pick up exactly where you left off. The
windows and tabs you were using, the text you typed into
forms, and the in-progress downloads you had running will all
be restored. You can even set Firefox 2 to always restore your
previous session instead of loading a home page, so you’ll
never lose your place again.
Web Feeds (RSS)
What do news
headlines, indie rock podcasts, and pictures of kittens have
in common? They’re all things that you can subscribe to with
Web feeds. Firefox 2 gives you full control over Web feeds,
showing you a preview and letting you choose how you want to
subscribe. You can use a Firefox Live Bookmark, or a feed
reader that you’ve installed on your computer, or through a
Web service such as My Yahoo!, Bloglines or Google
Reader.
Live Titles
Keep an eye on that
auction or the status of a delivery using the new Live Titles
feature in Firefox 2. Compact enough to fit as a bookmark
label, Live Titles are regularly updated summaries of the most
important information on a Web page. As the information on the
page gets updated, so does your Live Title. Try one out in
Firefox 2 by bookmarking www.woot.com.
Integrated Search
Firefox helps you
find whatever it is that you’re looking for. The Search bar
comes pre-loaded with search engines for Google, Yahoo!,
Amazon, eBay, Answers.com, and Creative Commons. Wherever you
are on the Web, you can enter a search term in the Search bar
and receive immediate answers from the search engine you’ve
chosen. You can select a new search engine from the Search bar
menu at any time, and add search engines from hundreds of your
favorite Web sites.
Live Bookmarks
Firefox Live
Bookmarks let you view Web feeds such as news and blog
headlines in the bookmarks toolbar or menu. With one glance,
quickly review the latest headlines from your favorite sites
and click to go directly to the articles that interest
you.
Pop-up Blocker
Firefox keeps you
in control of the Web pages you’re viewing, blocking annoying
pop-ups. Firefox’s pop-up blocker notifies you when pop-ups
are blocked via the information bar or icon on the lower right
of the screen.
