Page 1 of 2 Unlike previous attempts at predicting where you want to go, this latest beta really does a pretty darned good job of remembering and discerning your surfing habits. When you type in the first couple of letters of the website, it not only guesses which site you might want to visit it actually seems to associate other relevant sites you've visited and presents them as options also. For instance, if I type "Linu" into the toolbar, it does a search on all the previous stories about Linux I've read and brings up the most recent. It doesn't just bring up a list of the URLs but a description of the site and the story - very handy. I find that I now rarely have to type in a complete URL unless it's a place I've never visited. Another new feature that makes navigation easier is the bookmarks toolbar. If you have a page that you visit very frequently, you can simply drag and drop the link on to a bookmarks toolbar at the top of the screen. The Firefox design team has obviously put a lot of thought into helping users remember and find the pages that they want to visit. CONTINUED |
