    Firefox does not have memory problems - it has a feature that is very memory intensive.

    A new spell-checking feature has been added. Text entered in multiline text boxes is automatically checked for mistypes words, for single line text boxes, you must ask for it (right-click, Spell check this field). Words not found in the dictionary are marked with a red underline.

    It's about time they incorperated a spell checker! Vary nice.
