Firefox 2.0, Options

As many probably already know, Firefox 2 came out the other day. It has some improvements, but takes a step back in some ways too. Luckily for us, it is very configurable. To change settings beyond the most basic, navigate to about:config. To search for a specific key type the first part of its name in the filter box on the top of the page. To get you started, you can look at this Lifehacker article, but there may be some other changes you want to make as well. For example, there have been some privacy concerns recently about the phishing filter, which you can disable by making browser.safebrowsing.enabled false.
If you are curious about what an option does, you can look it up in the MozillaZine knowledge base (or usually just google it)
