Review of some changes in Firefox 3

,----[ Quote ]
| Firefox Beta 3 has been released some days ago, I have installed it and made 
| a little comparison with Firefox 2.0 to see some of the changes. 
| 
| Here I am comparing them with screen shots, side by side when that is 
| possible, because there are some features in 3 that are not present in 2.

Maximum PC: Firefox, one of the greatest PC technologies

| It is a credible and fun list that includes flash memory (82), Ubuntu (50), 
| the Thinkpad 700 (38), the original IBM PC keyboard (21), MP3 (11), Doom (10) 
| and Mosaic (4) among my favorite inductees. The list   
| is topped by an indisputable disrupter that effectively saved humanity from 
| millions of headaches.

Review: Firefox 3 Beta Answers Some Questions, Raises Others

,----[ Quote ]
| CRN Test Center downloaded Firefox 3 Beta 1 from Mozilla for a peek to get an 
| idea of what users can expect when Firefox 3 is officially launched. Since 
| this is a beta, the browser is intended for testing purposes only. While no 
| one expects the browser to be production-ready now, if history is any guide, 
| the likelihood of users going ahead and upgrading increases the longer the 
| product stays in beta.

Firefox 3 Beta 1 review

,----[ Quote ]
| This week Mozilla released the first beta of Firefox 3. Originally scheduled 
| for mid July, the delay responds to the very long list of features this new 
| version brings. Eight alphas and an estimated 14 months under development are 
| both firsts for a Firefox upgrade but again are necessary for the amount of 
| improvements and new features Firefox 3 will bring.

Firefox 3 Beta 1 is a winner

,----[ Quote ]
| According to Mozilla's blurb: "Firefox 3 Beta 1 is based on the new Gecko 1.9 
| Web rendering platform, which has been under development for the past 27 
| months and includes nearly 2 million lines of code changes, fixing more than 
| 11,000 issues." That means little to me. All I'm interested in is 
| performance, reliability, look and feel. And from what I've seen so far, 
| Firefox 3 Beta 1 succeeds spectacularly in all areas.

“Beautiful” tab switching for Firefox 3

,----[ Quote ]
| Performance-wise, CPU usage spiked from 2-3% to 45-50% during high speed tab 
| switching (that is, I kept Ctrl + Tab pressed for a while), but immediately 
| went back to previous cool 2-3% usage.  
| 
| Firefox 3 Beta 1 is expected within the next couple of weeks.
