New Firefox 3.6 Beta Enables Local File Handling
,----[ Quote ]
| Earlier this morning, Mozilla released the
| fourth beta version of Firefox 3.6. Besides
| over 140 bug fixes, the new beta also
| introduces support for HTML5's local file
| handling API. This feature gives web apps
| the ability to access and handle local
| files selected by the user. A photo site
| that implements this feature can now work
| with images locally, for example. You don't
| have to upload your images to the site -
| instead, the web app can just manipulate
| the photo through the browser locally and
| an upload is only necessary if you want to
| store the image remotely.

Finally Some Good Use For The Firefox Home Button
,----[ Quote ]
| The home button in the Firefox web browser
| â and actually in every web browser â opens
| the default homepage of the web browser
| when it is clicked. Most users do not need
| that functionality because of better
| alternatives that are provided by the
| browsers. It is for example possible to add
| the homepage to the visible bookmarks, use
| a keyboard shortcut to open that website or
| to enter part of it in the address bar.
|
| The developer of Usable Home Button for
| Firefox must have had similar thoughts. The
| add-on changes the standard behavior of the
| home button in Firefox so that it always
| leads to the root level of the active
| website. This can be quite handy as it is
| not always a given that a webmaster has
| included a link back to the root page of
| the website on the website.

Mozilla desktop software is borrowing from Google e-mail features
,----[ Quote ]
| In the following few weeks Mozilla is
| introducing the new version of its
| Thunderbird, lets users keep their inbox
| clutter-free with a Gmail-like "archive"
| button for permanently storing older
| messages, while removing them from day-to-
| day sight.
|
| Thus, Thunderbird 3 also presents tabbed e-
| mail â compatible to tabbed browsing
| available on most Web browsers, including
| Mozilla's own Firefox. The user will get an
| ability quickly jump back and forth between
| e-mail messages by opening them in separate
| tabs.
