I wonder how many Opera users it will reclaim? |

Wow, hehe i like the new feel of the website. Anyhow, as for the browser... Its good  I like the new improvements.. excecpt for the fact that when you download many things at a time, firefox browsing speed drops alot... I mean sometimes you can't even access pages XD (at least for me  , and I'm on ADSL...3 or 4 mbps i think) |

It does seem a bit faster  ... Changed the GUI they use minorly (at least for Windows), and the image that shows when you are loading an image.
Have the [code][/code] tags been changed? Or has the font used there also been changed in Firefox? Great new changes, lots of conveniences added |

The biggest change I've noticed is that the 404 error page has changed and that the options menu has a different layout. And is it just me or have they removed dictionary.com from the searchengine list? |

Changed it to about.com ... I imagine this was google's call. |

Damn, that sucks - I spent an hour yesterday looking for a fix, but nothing. I hate these other dictionaries, so slow, and hard to use  . |

No big deal, it's just one click away from here: http://mycroft.mozdev.org/quick/dictionary.com.html The top one, press the link, and Firefox will automatically install the search plugin for you. I missed the fox |

I really like answers.com (which I think 1.5 now includes). Definitions, Thesaurus, and even articles from Wikipedia and other sources. Pretty nifty, all-in-one definition tool. |

Answers.com rocks. Best encyclopedia I've used yet. Grabs stuff from all sorts of sources. Wikipedia is great too, but it tends to be slower, and goes down for maintenance cycles too often. |
