[News] The Future of a Monpoly Breaker (Mozilla Firefox)

More details on Firefox 3 planned features

,----[ Quote ]
| Isolating plugins so they don't crash the browser (Adobe Reader?)
| has been phased out for Mozilla 2 (read, Firefox 4) as it will
| require a deep code rewrite that would push Firefox 3 release
| out of its targeted Q3 2007. Pause/resume downloads stays, and the
| use of a separate window for Download Manager is being reconsidered
| (you can move it today with a simple tweak).

| If Mozilla proceeds with this goal for Firefox 3 to be a broker
| of information, then that will significantly raise the stakes in
