New Features in Mozilla Firefox 3!
Like Chris, I have not had a lot of time to play around with Mozilla Firefox 3, but here are just some of the new features:
- Improved Performance
View Web pages faster, using less of your computer’s memory. - Instant Web Site ID
Avoid online scams, unsafe transactions and forgeries with simple site identity. - One-Click Bookmarking
Bookmark, search and organize Web sites quickly and easily. - Password Manager
Remember site passwords without ever seeing a pop-up. - Full Zoom
See any part of a Web page, up close and readable, in seconds. - Smart Location Bar (Far from it! This is the most annoying feature eva!) Find the sites you love in seconds—enter a term for instant matches that make sense.
- Platform-Native Look & Feel
Browse with a Firefox that’s integrated into your computer’s operating system.
I’m sure there will be some of these features that I will be disabling. I am one who doesn’t like change, unless it is something really useful. I have already seen one thing that I find annoying about Firefox 3 and I’m sure there will be plenty more, but I’ll save them for another post. In the mean time, Check out Mozilla’s Tips & Tricks page here.
