And Ooh it is pretty. It looks as though they have updated the icons.
And the little close tab cross on each tab now glows red when you hover over it.
Tabs not currently in use are faded out (I don't recall this before, though I may be mistaken).
There is a small arrow you can click at the end of the window that shows a list of all your tabs. you can then click to choose a tab and are taken to it in the browser window.
Very useful with the sprawl of tabs I usually have open. (Was this around in beta 1? If it was I didn't notice it)
I am excited about the new Firefox. I'm regularly using the spellcheck and the "undo close tab" and the "recently closed tabs" item in the history menu. And of course the session restore feature, which reinstates all your previously open tabs when/if you crash, (which is rarely happening for me now). Lifesaver. I think I have said all this before.
Oh and on the tab thing, you can scroll through your tabs along with some green arrows that appear, so no more "where have my tabs gone" worries. (and yes I think this was in beta 1 too, again I can't be sure, but if it was I don't think the arrows were green.)
Overall it just seems to me to be more a lot smoother to use, and nicer to look at. More Macintosh-y, though is it aqua looking?.
Well whatever, I am impressed.
I shall see over the next coming days how stable it is.

I trust you, so tell me: is this like Mozilla? Cuz I love all things Mac, but I hate Mozilla :(
Well I tried out Firefox for a bit at work - I do like the features, but Safari still runs faster. We do however have an EVIL NETWORK that hates Macs. :-(
Ah, well. If you have the inclination, I'd give Camino a go as it is similar to Safari. Speed n'all.
