been running the FF 2.0 Release Candidate 2 for a couple of days, its decent enough. a fair few extensions don't work but none that bother me.
it's faster and the in-line spelling is super sweet

oohhh just noticed that since RC2 you can now add dictionaries to the spell-check - right-click in a text-box to bring up the context menu and select Add Dictionaries, it takes you to a Mozilla page with a load of different dictionaries, select the one you want and it installs like a plugin (no more US spellings), then just right-click in a text-box (after a FF restart) and Change Language
