Mozilla Launches Firefox 3.0 RC1, and It's Great
,----[ Quote ]
| I've used Firefox 3.0 since the beta 4 release, and it's really like using an
| entirely fresh, revamped browser. (If you don't believe me, read Michael
| Muchmore's review of Firefox 3.0 beta 4.) It just snaps -- pages render
| noticeably faster using the Gecko 1.9 renderer, which improves the experience
| tremendously.

| include functionality out-of-the-box that you could only get with add-ons
| before. Let's take a look at five extensions you might not need when you
| switch to Firefox 3.

| It also seems, Yahoo! was the only web mail service to provide the necessary

| 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.

Firefox 3: Site Identification button
,----[ 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.
