i thought the spell check is great.
The best thing about FF is that anyone can edit the code therefore lots of add ons.

One of the better features of Firefox is one that you can't see. It's much more secure than IE.

Give this a try. It usually makes Firefox even faster!!

1. Type "about:config" into the address bar and hit return. Scroll
down and look for the following entries:

network.http.pipelining
network.http.proxy.pipelining
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests

Normally the browser will make one request to a web page at a time.
When you enable pipelining it will make several at once, which really
speeds up page loading.

2. Alter the entries as follows:

Set "network.http.pipelining" to "true"

Set "network.http.proxy.pipelining" to "true"

Set "network.http.pipelining.maxrequests" to some number like 30. This
means it will make 30 requests at once.

3. Lastly right-click anywhere and select New-> Integer.
Name it "nglayout.initialpaint.delay" and set its value to "0".
This value is the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on
information it recieves.

If you're using a brodband connection you'll load pages 2-30 times faster
now.
