Nov 16: Spell checker not fully working in Firefox 2.0
If you, like me are using the new Firefox version, 2.0, and are finding that although you can see your spelling errors underlined, there are no correction suggestions in the context menu, see if you're using the "Firefox Google Bookmarks" extension. If so, disable it in Tools>Addons and restart.
That solved the problem for me!

Nov 13: Back button and backspace key in Firefox
I'm used to the last few builds of Firefox having the backspace key bound to the back button. Firefox 2.0 seems to give it a page navigation function. The space bar moves you down a page in jumps, and now the back button moves you up. I'm used to screen, irssi and other systems that use these keys similarly, so I don't mind changing, and it prevents accidents caused by browsing back in the history when editing text in a form.
For the rest of you who want the usual IE on Windows functionality, try this:

For the rest of you who want the usual IE on Windows functionality, try this:
- Open a blank window or tab and surf to about:config
- Using the search feature, or scrolling, find the browser.backspace-function preference
- Double-click it and change the value to 0.
- Click Ok. The change takes effect immediately
I hope this is useful to you.
