There have been some improvements with the tabs feature, such as enabling users to close and reopen individual tabs more easily and a history list of previous tabs that have been opened.

Mozilla is upped the anti-phishing security feature of Firefox 2.0, which warns users in advance when they look like they might be visiting a malicious web page. Microsoft Internet Explorer 7, released last week, also has a similar feature.
