Wait, are session restore and the in-line spell checking still going to
be in 2.0?

If they are, I'll be okay with 1.7, but still not 2.0. They aren't an
immediate "Wow!" when you open the browser.

(And yes, I know I'm being harsh, and even small improvements are a good
thing and can take a good amount of work, but Firefox 2.0 just doesn't
seem like a 2.0.)
