Mozilla & Gecko clones Ars reviews Firefox 2 RC2, and concludes: "I personally never managed to get any of the third party spellcheck extensions to work right, and the availability of spellcheck support alone was enough to convince me to use 2.0 pre-releases rather than the 1.5.0.7 build that comes with Ubuntu. All things considered, RC2 adequately meets most of my needs, but doesn't exceed my expectations as major releases have in the past. Hopefully, development on the Places system and other delayed features will make future releases more interesting."

My favorite keyboard method is to hit ' to start highlite search for links, type a bit of the link I want, then <CTRL> + <ENTER>. Much faster than TABing, I find.

Of course, my primary method is middle-mouse button. Using the middle mouse button on things (urls, bookmarks, folders, buttons even) is the prime killer feature of FF, imho.

"Killer feature" implies only Firefox can do it, but Opera supports middle clicking to open new tabs or windows from links or bookmarks/history etc. and Konqueror lets you use middle click on links, bookmarks, files, toolbar buttons etc.
