I thought I would check out to see what the latest Firefox has in store. I downloaded the latest Firefox 3.03b beta
A few things I have noticed after playing around -
- When I goto Google Email, it does not freeze and crash! Ya!! I have redownloaded, reinstalled, disabled all add ons and still could not get Firefox to quit crashing. Firefox 3 is not crashing!
- Disable CSS Quickly by clicking View | Page Style | No Stle - Great for Web Developers testing CSS and also disabling for accessibility issues. No need to download a seperate program to disable cssin a few clicks.
- It is titled "Minefield"
- When you close the browser and have tabs open, it asks you if you want to open the tabs on the next start
- Keyboard navigation of webpages via TAB broken (See link to bug)
- The new HTML 5 activeElement and hasFocus attributes are supported
- The display property’s inline-block and inline-table values are now implemented
- Firefox 3 offers JavaScript 1.8
- Supports the animated PNG (APNG) image format
- Unified bookmarks and history organizer
- You can now associate keywords with your bookmarks
- Opening a folder of bookmarks in tabs now appends the new tabs instead of replacing the existing ones
- Like IE, you can now use FULL Page view - greater than maximize (f11)
- Improved Download Manager
- Built In Antivirus
- Protection from pages that might have malware
- Memory usages reduced with "over 300 memory "leak" bugs fixed and new features to help automatically locate and dispose of leaked memory blocks"
- Improved speed (drawing and redrawing rates)
So far, so good. I like it! Time will tell how it holds up in the end and how it handles web development

Happy New Year! to everyone!
I had someone ask me what my New Year’s resolution is. As silly as it sounds, mine is to write more articles and work on my websites. Simple. Now, to see if I can stick to it!
