This is an excellent example of a project that puts a great deal of pressure

Inside Firefox 3.0, Alpha 3: Gran Paradiso 

,----[ Quote ]
| If development goes according to plan, this will be the first
| version of Firefox--or of any browser, for that matter--to have
| the three key components needed to support offline Web
| applications: DOM Storage; an offline execution model; and
| synchronization. That critical foundation will let free or
| low-cost Web suites compete with Microsoft software and
| possibly break the company's decades-long domination in
| office productivity apps.

Mozilla Does Microformats: Firefox 3 as Information Broker

,----[ Quote ]
| If Mozilla proceeds with this goal for Firefox 3 to be a broker
| of information, then that will significantly raise the stakes in
| the browser war again. Microsoft will surely follow and the
| smaller browsers will innovate around microformats to keep ahead.
