Firefox Up In Share, Out In Beta

The Mozilla Firefox web browser has begun moving upward again in global market share, and those users can now try out version 2.0 Beta 1 of the browser. Internet Explorer still dominates the web browsing landscape globally. But it has seen a small decline since May of 2006. Web analytics firm OneStat.com Windows Linux One feature noted in the article may help improve the quality of blogging by Firefox users. The 2.0 beta candidate includes a spell checker for web-based forms. The checker automatically indicates misspelled words as one types; a dotted red line appears under the offending word. Blog posts without scores of spelling errors? Now that would be a real achievement by Firefox. Tag: Add to Del.icio.us | Digg | Yahoo!
