Before, i liked the tab X on the side, but now when i finally got it that way, i realized the fading X's are way too cool to leave. Spell checker is nice, but needs to be added to the options page. I think i figured it out, it automatically checks spelling in infinite text boxes, but not in low limit ones. Nightly tester tools made all my ext's work, BUT Y! toolbar (which crashed Fx). Way to go Yahoo, i worship you and this is how you thank me. Anh well, i think I'm better off without it, seriously. I've got the "add to myweb" bookmark, Y! search built in, and My Y! RSS. What more do i need? THANKS for the great tips, Fx always leaves these goodies hidden under about:config wraps, until a helpful blogger like you reveals them to the masses ;) Wow, I LOVE Fx 2.0b1, the features are awesome.

Sage has the look but it doesn't automatically update or notify (ouch), and the rest have clunky/sluggish/ugly interfaces that are 100% not a pleasure to use. Firefox is seriously lacking a slick, powerful and intuitive feed reading mechanism, and that is a major barrier to the wide adoption of feed reading in general. Flock is a great example of how RSS can work beautifully in a browser, and I think Safari boasts similar functionality. In fact, I think Firefox would do very well to take a look at Flock's feed capabilities. As far as I'm aware it's just Sage on steroids (could be wrong), but it's very easy to use and looks smooth to boot. Well, really, the feed readers that exist are a bit shit.
