2old2play Firefox Toolbar v2.0 Released

Whether you've been using the 2old2play Firefox Toolbar for a while, or if you haven't tried it yet, the new release has more than enough features to make it a fixture in your browser. Since the initial release of the 2old2play Firefox Toolbar (for Firefox 1.5), I have listened to comments from lots of users, as well as taken into account the things I wanted to do with the initial release, but just never had time to implement.

That being said, version 2.0 of the toolbar should have a little (or a lot) something for everyone. Feel free to check out the changelog below for all the new things that have been added. I'm posting the full changelog for those of you that have never used the toolbar, so that you have a better idea of everything it offers.

As always, please let me know if you have any comments, suggestions, etc.

Thanks,
