As of this writing, the latest Firefox version officially supported by Mozilla, is Firefox 2.0.0.5.

Some of the key features in the latest Firefox are:

  • Interface Upgrades: Many aspects for the Firefox UI (User Interface) have been improved to provide a better overall experience, as well as notable speed improvements.
  • Phishing Prevention Tools: When users attempt to access a page that appears to have malicious Phishing code enabled, users are warned by Firefox and offered to return to the previous page. By default, the anti-Phishing tools are enabled in the latest Firefox version.
  • Better Search Experience: When user searches are typed within the built-in search box, results appear as they are typed (at Get-Firefox-Now.net, we love us some AJAX in action!). Although Google is the default search engine, users may easily add their own search engines of choice, as well as re-order existing search engines to their liking.
  • Improved Tabbed Browsing: Gone are the days of obnoxious multiple browser windows. With Firefox’s improved Tabbed Browsing, new links (by default) are opened in their own tab, within a single instance of Firefox. Links can still be set to open in a new window (either per-link, or as the default action). Tabbed browsing makes it easy to open multiple sites on loading Firefox, and even easier to close several pages at once.
  • Browsing Session Restore: When Firefox is restarted, user’s are offered the ability to resume their last “session”. Basically, choosing “Restore Session” will reopen tabs that were previously closed, and also navigating Firefox back to the sites that were previously loaded within those tabs. We like this feature; when the boss interupts your browsing, it’s a snap to restore your timewasting when the boss leaves.
  • Better Spell-Checking: In the latest Firefox, when data is entered into forms, it is automatically checked for proper spelling. There is no longer a need for a 3rd party add-on to accomplish this. Splling is vry importantt.
  • Tons of little things: We could go on and on about every one of the great features in the latest Firefox, but check it out for yourself. You can download Firefox here.
