A month after Firefox 3 beta 1, Mozilla has released Firefox 3 beta 2 and available for download here.
What’s new about Beta 2?
Compared to Beta 1, the Firefox 3 Beta 2 has improved location bar that makea the search result easier to be identified. The results for the location bar are shown in 2 lines: page title and web address, in different colors. The matched keyword is bolded and underlined.

You also notice that the Go button at location bar is hidden until you enter a website address in the location bar.
Firefox 3 beta 2 also has a better search panel that allows you search for history, tags, and bookmarks. You can add as many search rules as you like, and save the search as a dynamic folder, much like Thunderbird’s email search.

Firefox Add-ons on Firefox 3 beta 2
Previously, I complained about the Firefox add-on compatibility on Firefox 3 beta 1. It has been improved on Beta 2. Many popular Firefox add-ons added support to Firefox 3.
For incompatible add-ons, I use Nightly Tester Tool to force them work with Firefox 3 and they work!
Now, I can stick with Firefox 3 beta, instead of switching back to Firefox 2.
