Beta 5 now open for testing
The latest Firefox beta was released today, and boasts a ton of changes and improvements. As you'd expect, there are a number of issues at the present time, but that's why Mozilla needs your help!
This release boasts over 750 changes from the last. Below are the improvements made since Firefox 2, and in brackets, ones made in this release:
More Secure
Easier to Use (Windows/Mac/Linux integration, icons, etc.)
More Personal ("Places Organizer")
Improved Platform for Developers
Improved Performance (speed, Java, etc.)
It should be noted that extensions and add-ons installed with previous versions of the browser may not work. There are a number of other issues as well, most of which apply to all OS'. Some of these include conflicts within Gmail, feed reading issues, and some instances of hanging/crashing. The full list can be found here.
Anyone who cares to help, download the beta here. If that ain't enough to satisfy your deeply-imbued love for Mozilla Corporation, read the bug filing instructions, and then report to Bugzilla. Feeback can also be given here.
Will Download Beta!
I don't get on it much anymore, except when I'm at my dads place. I don't have the patience to deal with any bugs when I'm there.
If I used it more regularly, I might have gotten the beta.
it would be nice if it could compete with opera, it's about time i found a browser that could, i still don't know though...i'll see when the real ff3 is released...let's not get my hopes up, though...
that youtube video problem may not be firefox's fault, try reinstalling your adobe flash player
