Right click save as Olliee should be fine.

Just installed, hope it's better than previous releases.

Haven't moved to IE7 yet, I dare not to incase half of my websites don't appear lol.

Altough Office 2k7 is quite nice, coming around to that now.

Downloading this now. Not keen on IE7 as I have been using it for months (testing at work). Anyone know what extra features this version of Firefox has?

Just noticed this when typing, very nice.

I assume it uses the dictionary from office or similar? It can't possibly have it's own set can it?

It's got it's own dictionary mate. Defaulted to US English but you can change it to British English easy enough.

That's surprising, but good stuff all the same!

That dictionary isn't compatible with the full release it seems, sure there will be an update soon though.

installed works well, but my darn internet is still slow

 

[sneeks]

Just installed this, nothing much changed from what I can see.

Try right-clicking on the misspelt word. Mine gives me the option of ticking "English/United Kingdom"

Whats the difference between Firefox and IE? I've never heard of Firefox?!

One's reliable, easy to use, has some neat functions and is made by a decent company and the other is made by Microsoft.

Scutch is stuck in the past!! that could explain his babbage jokes!!!

Firefox is good, tabbed browsing is a must!

 

[Scutch]

lol. Ahh, I see. I'll download it later then, and give my opinions.

 

[Munson]

I think I'll be going back to Opera soon. I'm finding Firefox a little clunky and less intuitive. I might try v2 first though.
