10 July 2006 - Firefox, the free browser from Mozilla, is releasing a beta of version 2.0 on 11 July.
Early testers have highlighted several changes to the software; it now features an integrated spell checker designed for bloggers and forum posters, and a phishing filter.
The phishing filter uses a list of suspected malware sites as well as Google's site listings to flag potentially hazardous websits.
The browser also features an improved RSS reader, with the option of using Firefox's reader or others from Google or MyYahoo.
Many of the changes are to the browser's backend coding, and aren't necessarily readily noticeable to the user.
