Firefox 2.0 focuses on user interface innovations that help users in their common browsing tasks while interacting with search, bookmarks and history. Firefox 2.0 has improvements to tabbed browsing, RSS handling, managing extensions, security and performance.

dtlogin Language Selection Overhaul

CDE currently lists the cryptic locale names in the form of a cascade menu in the login screen. The dtlogin language selection overhaul feature delivers a more user-friendly language-oriented login list. CDE has a feature to remember the per display default login language name. For SunRay environments, you can use an X resource to disable displays from remembering the login language.

For more information, see the dtlogin man page.

Starting with this release, XVideo support on RealPlayer improves video playback performance greatly on x86 systems.
