Still not quite foxy enough

October 25th, 2006

Firefox 2 is out. Can’t say I really notice much difference, but I thought 1.5 was just fine, so I’m not upset.

The biggest visual difference is that the tab close button has moved from the far right of the window to the right of each and every tab. If there isn’t room every tab for it, then only the current tab has it.

Yes, that’s an improvement, though I used to use Tab X which did it anyway. Nice to have it built-in, though.

Got Something To Say:

To create code blocks or other preformatted text, indent by four spaces:

    will be preserved.
    
    Markdown is turned off in code blocks:

To create not a block, but an inline code span, use backticks: 

Here is some inline `code`.
