Browser Updates

The two major browsers have released new versions recently. Here's the info:

Firefox 2
Firefox has been the better browser for a few years. And while this new release is probably great in ways that I haven't yet investigated, there is one noticeable change that has been bugging me already. The tab close buttons have been moved to the individual tabs instead of at the right of the screen where they were previously. Fortunately this can be fixed pretty easily by changing the value of the browser.tabs.closeButtons key in the about:config to 3.


IE is trying to compete by offering the functionality that Firefox has offered for years: tabbed browsing and RSS feeds. It's about time, Microsoft. I'm still not going to use this browser, but at least it might make the masses a little more web-savvy.
