Firefox 2.0

I switched to Firefox 2.0 recently. Seems like without any bad consequences. Of course, all the plug-ins didn't work but the most essential ones (Tab Mix, Adblock) worked just fine. Finally some new features were introduced that I felt lack of in previous versions, especially the possibility to edit the search engines. Spell checking is quite handy also.

But still it's quite annoying that hot keys don't work in non-Latin layouts. If I need to copy a bunch of text while typing in Russian I have to press Ctrl+Shift to switch the layout, then Ctrl+С to copy, Ctrl+V to paste and finally Ctrl+Shift to continue typing. Maybe I should teach myself to use Ctrl+Ins and Shift+Ins as it seems like this bug is never gonna be fixed.
