it's not like you can miss it, there's an icon at the top of the screen that tells you to update whenever you open firefox (as opposed to "sucky" internet explorer, which does no such thing...).

Yeah I was a late stubborn IE user that finally switched awhile back, and its been great. Although I want to see how Microsoft competes with IE7 that will be coming out soon. I might have to switch back to give it a try and see how it operates but I'll probally just end up coming back to Firefox.

More importantly Opera 8 is out! ~4MB for a browser and a email client, beat that.
I used the voice feature for the first time, its amazing, specially if you have sight issues. You know you want to be able to stick a compliancy button on your site. The site would be alot faster if it had less errors, it means the browser has to do less work to figure out what's going on.

Also it has a right-click link to validate the current webpage. The HL2.net home page has 299 HTML 4.01 errors .

http://validator.w3.org

Heres an example:

Line 11, column 92: document type does not allow element "BODY" here ...margin=0 marginwidth=0 marginheight=0>
The element named above was found in a context where it is not allowed. This could mean that you have incorrectly nested elements -- such as a "style" element in the "body" section instead of inside "head" -- or two elements that overlap (which is not allowed). One common cause for this error is the use of XHTML syntax in HTML documents. Due to HTML's rules of implicitly closed elements, this error can create cascading effects. For instance, using XHTML's "self-closing" tags for "meta" and "link" in the "head" section of a HTML document may cause the parser to infer the end of the "head" section and the beginning of the "body" section (where "link" and "meta" are not allowed; hence the reported error).

Hmmm... Internet Explorer only seems to be 1.73MB. Oh well, I guess they have the rest integrated into the OS or something. FF is 16MB, so I guess 4MB is good, but I'm not sure it really matters. It's too small to make a difference for me.

299 errors? pwned!

Edit: I just used that on a site that I made, and it found 46 errors. Many of those, however, are not actually errors. It reads the javascript and finds HTML "errors". Like I was adding "</font>" to some string variable, and it yelled at me for closing a tag that was not open, even though it actually is open inside of the string variable.
