W00T!

Its quite nice.

It comes with a built in spell checker and some other features I have yet to discover yet.

You can get the beta from browsing the FTP server here or you can download the US English Win32 directly from here.

heh this spell checker is handy. >_>

I still use IE, Firefox runs slower for me for some reason.

Nobody's going to blame you for using something that's faster and more reliable*; that is why Firefox was created.

Do the spell checkers actualy work very well?

In the old fire fox

Type: About:config

In the adress bar and hit enter. Then enable pipelining.

This will make firefox 10 times faster.

Yes, if you download Firefox beta 2 and go on these forums and type something like "wat", it would underline it in red.
