I guess it's probably nice, but I've spent too way much time configuring my Firefox 1.5 and getting it the way I want, to upgrade and have to start all over again.

Upgrading from 1.5.0.x -> 2.0 is not a problem - I did it yesterday on one machine. The only one problem can be extensions/themes - some are not yet updated for 2.0.

But its worth upgrading - even I upgraded yesterday and find the new Firefox much more responsive and faster on Linux. Preserving Bookmarks, history, etc is not a problem at all. Evrtrything was just fine.

Spell Check

Oh yes, I did forget to mention that feature - and its a killer - particularly for me - my typing is atrocious (I mean to say I know my spellings but ..  

Sadly my post quoted above is from office from IE (can't use Firefox at work), so please forgive the occasional error filled posts, Da-Blitz and all
