I'm now having some problems with the Firefox Spellchecker in Google Docs editing. Wonder if it's due to the update?

Maybe there is a related Bugzilla report filed already

Or MozillaZine Forums has a related thread opened:

And like it was expected Thunderbird mail client turned to version 2.0.0.6 too, with a little delay:

Ironic that I've finally made the jump to Opera after battling with Firefox's "non-existant" extension-causing memory leaks.

The only issue I have with Opera is that Google Spreadsheets doesn't support it, and to access Google Docs in general, you have to add "browserok=true" to the query string.
