Just one quick Q, should we get the en-GB or the en-US version. I don't seen any different, but i aren't no firefox expert.

I've gone for the en-US & am using at the moment. No issues so far.

But now that you mention it, every time I've downloaded it in the past, it has automatically directed me to the UK version :?

Some cool features thou, the close tab button now appears on every tab rather than on the far right of screen & it has a spellchecker!! Your days of Engrish may be over yet! :P

The only difference you'll probably find is that colour will be spelled correctly :P
gawk; talk; date; wine; grep; touch; unzip; strip; touch; gasp; finger; gasp; mount; fsck; more; yes; fsck; gasp; eject; umount; make clean; make mrproper; sleep;

I don't know if the mozilla dev team ever thought they'd come up against an engrish force so strong, the mighty fix may not cope :P

can't really be stealing if its open source... just means its open to everyone without paying and people are welcome to change and improve the software free of charge to their own liking
