Field Guide to Firefox 3
Deb Richardson has written an extensive field guide to Firefox 3 features. Features of the upcoming Firefox 3 (to be released on June 17, 2008) was frozen long time back.
In anticipation of this long-awaited event, the folks in the Mozilla community have been writing extensively about the new and improved features you’ll see in the browser. The new features cover the full range from huge and game-changing to ones so subtle you may not notice them until you realize that using Firefox is just somehow easier and better. The range of improved features is similar — whole back-end systems have been rebuilt from scratch, while other features have been tweaked slightly or redesigned in small ways. Overall the result is the fastest, safest, slimmest, and easiest to use version of Firefox yet.
The features covered in the Guide are
