Mozilla Firefox 3 beta 2 available, with new features

December 27, 2007 in Browsers | Permalink

Screengrab As both as a Mac and Windows user, I've experienced both Firefox 2 and the latest beta preview of Firefox 3, across both operating systems. Before you ask, why not Safari? The problem we have is that our internal CMS works with IE or Firefox. Forget Opera, Safari or anything else. This means that - despite wanting to use Opera and store my bookmarks on the browser - it's rather pointless if the majority of your work can not be achieved using the browser. As Firefox 2 can become rather unstable on a Mac, I've moved across to the latest Firefox 3, despite the beta status.

Mozilla Firefox 3 beta 2 was released shortly before Christmas and, as you can imagine, ships with a host of improvements and fixes as a result of the beta 1 public testing. In addition, there are some new features. For instance, start typing a URL you might want to visit and Firefox 3 will offer you a list of URL options, saving you from having to type the remaining part of the URL. Very Opera-esque, I might add.
