Firefox 3 Beta 2 First Impressions

,----[ Quote ]
| So, we've looked at all the new features individually but the key question is 
| whether the whole thing is worth upgrading to and on that note I can 
| categorically say yes, it is.

Firefox 3.0 Beta 2 Is A Win For Linux

,----[ Quote ]
| Mozilla has released the latest beta of Firefox 3 today, and the Linux 
| efforts behind it are starting to show even more. This release, being a beta, 
| is surprisingly stable. Here’s the killer that makes this beta release 
| amazing: true GTK support.

Personas from Mozilla Labs give Firefox a sleek coat

,----[ Quote ]
| I probably won't use Personas much myself since I greatly prefer the 
| unadulterated GTK look in Firefox 3, but the addon is very intriguing from a 
| technical standpoint. The way that Personas takes Firefox's Internet 
| capabilities and leverages theme to bring dynamic content to the Firefox  
| chrome layer is very creative and it reflects a lot of possibilities that I 
| had never previously considered.

Update on the Firefox 3 Linux Theme

,----[ Quote ]
| Work on the new linux theme for Firefox 3 is progressing nicely due to a very 
| active group of contributers. To match the operating system’s theme, 
| Firefox’s navigation toolbar will use native GTK icons.

“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.
