Firefox 3.5: How Soon and How Big a Deal?
,----[ Quote ]
| With 3.5 looking like a compelling upgrade, the question arises, why didn't
| Mozilla just name the new browser Firefox 4?
|
| Beltzner noted that users have expectations about software and naming changes
| those expectations. For example, people expect Windows Vista to be different
| than Windows XP because they have different names.
|
| "I think people expect Firefox 4 to look and be a huge difference in the way
| they interact with the browser compared with Firefox 3," Beltzner
| said. "Firefox 3.5 is a decidedly better browser than Firefox 3, but your
| primary way of interacting with the browser is the same. So we wanted to set
| the expectation that this is a fantastic upgrade, but it's not going to break
| your world."

Mozilla JetPack: Lowering the Bar to Extend Firefox
,----[ Quote ]
| One of Firefox’s great advantages is the ability for users to create custom
| extensions. While add-ons have historically been non-trivial to write,
| Mozilla Labs is looking to make this considerably easier with JetPack.

Top 3 Mozilla Firefox 4 Features For Next Generation Browsing Experience
,----[ Quote ]
| Mozilla Firefox needs no special mention to anyone who is associated with
| internet. Perhaps the fastest and most reliable browser in this world is the
| most popular one too as they achieved the Guiness Book of World Records for
| most download in a single day. The key to their success has been continuous
| improvement of the browser and large committed group of high-quality
| developers, which Mozilla Foundation could cheaply leverage due to the open
| source nature of the product. Mozilla Foundation surely do not believe in
| resting on their laurels. Mozilla Firefox 4 suits the idiom perfectly as it
| is coming up with some features we could have never imagined in a browser. So
| let us sneak into that world.

Firefox 4 will push out the edges of the browser
,----[ Quote
| Beard's philosophy is this: The browser needs to evolve. Beard believes the
| browser concept hasn't fundamentally changed in 10 years. It's still an
| isolated piece of software, he says. Mozilla Lab's push is to blur the edges
| of the browser, to make it both more tightly integrated with the computer
| it's running on, and also more hooked into Web services. So extended, the
| browser becomes an even more powerful and pervasive platform for all kinds of
| applications.
