I have used Firefox 2 also. And so I can tell you that this is much better product from Firefox platform. Site loading is faster compared to Internet explorer. It is taking bookmarking to new levels. One click on the star icon at the end of the location bar bookmarks a site.

This browser uses google search cache brilliantly to ease browsing by listing recently searched sites with description in the address field.
