More importantly, for the new user (who I am really focusing on in this) there is no need to go and search through the extensions to find them. Out of the box it has a tremendous advantage. Chris,

Not quite sure how I feel about them adding the features. I always liked FF because it was just a lean barebones browser that allowed you to customize it with extensions to make it how you want it. I think now they need to keep focusing on the memory problems and improving speed and performance.

I am checking it out now. Not as much is built in as I would want at first glance, but it does have a nice list of extensions. It is a smart approach to use the Firefox engine. That makes building extensions easy as you just need to modify them a bit, in fact I see they claim most should work without modification, though they give no guarantees. Their built in blogging tool looks nice as does the way it handles photos with a function similar to net snippets. I am going to give it a test run and maybe do a comparison later on.

I just downloaded the Performancing tool and will be using it later. Very cool. FF 2.0 is definitely a cut above the rest. I just downloaded the Performancing tool and will be using it later.
