Page 1 of 3 ! Mozilla has released beta 3 of Firefox 3.0, with around 1300 ‘individual changes’ from beta 2, with fixes for stability, performance, memory usage, platform enhancements and user interface improvements. Firefox 3.0 beta 3 is here, with plenty of improvements set to send Firefox’s percentage of market share soaring ever higher once the final version is released to the public. Mozilla says that there are around 1300 individual changes from the previous beta, “including fixes for stability, performance, memory usage, platform enhancements and user interface improvements”. While downloadable by anyone, Mozilla cautions that “beta releases are geared toward Web developers and Mozilla's testing community in order to gain feedback before advancing to the next stage in the release process”. That said, Mozilla heartily encourages ‘testers’ to download and install the Beta 3 release to test it against the websites they normally visit, and provide feedback about any incompatibilities, either through the Mozilla feedback form or through the Bugzilla form. Having had a quick look at the latest version, the interface certainly looks snazzier, performance seems to be faster and all-in-all, Firefox 3.0 is shaping up to really give Internet Explorer 7 and even bigger run for its money than it has already given, while Microsoft continues dithering around with Internet Explorer 8. So, what precisely do Mozilla say you’ll find in Firefox 3.0 beta 3? Please read onto page 2 for more... << First page <   1 2 3 Next page > Last page - Post your comment >>
