What I nice surprise this morning as I fired up Mozilla to do some web browsing before getting to work.  It asked me if I wanted to update the software to the 2nd beta release of the product.  I quickly clicked the button to get it done immediately to see what changes were made.  I've been using the beta 1 version with little issue so far so I don't expect any significant issue with the second beta.
