Firefox 3 RC 1 full review
,----[ Quote ]
| A year and a half after the last major Firefox release, Firefox 3 Release
| Candidate 1 is here with a very long list of new features and improvements.
|
| [...]
|
| It also seems, Yahoo! was the only web mail service to provide the necessary
| interfaces to use it as mailto: protocol handler. Gmail and Live will
| certainly be missed but they should be easy to add as they become available.
|
| At this stage it also expected that most extension developers will get back
| to work to make their pieces compatible with Firefox 3. The ongoing Extend
| Firefox 3 contest (now with a music category) provides additional motivation.

Firefox 3 First Look
,----[ Quote ]
| All-in-all, Firefox 3 is more than good enough to keep me as a user. Better
| still, from Mozilla's viewpoint, its good enough that it should pull in
| another wave of new users. It's not just a major step up from Firefox 2; it's
| a leap forward from the other new browsers such as the forthcoming Internet
| Explorer 8.

,----[ Quote ]
| Ensuring that users are safe, secure, and protected while they browse the Web
| is one of the greatest challenges facing browser makers. Browser security
| involves a delicate balance between protecting the user from the dangers that
| exist on the Web and overly restricting the user’s freedom to go where she
| wants and see what she wants while surfing.
