The search box in Firefox is that box for searching (boy, definitions don’t get any better than that) usually located in the upper right of your browser window. By default you see it set to Google, but did you know you can use others that are listed there or install more of your own?

One of the nice new features of Firefox 2 is the built in spell checker. I can not begin to tell you how much time this little addition has saved me.
