Firefox 3 plans
I spoiled the article on Readwriteweb.com , I decided to share it ... Below is its translation.
Mozilla has posted a wiki page detailing plans for the next release of Firefox, codenamed Gran Paradiso. The estimated release date somewhere in the third quarter of this year, also noted that it is planned to release a new version of Firefox every year.
Mozilla recognizes that its advantages over other browsers for ordinary users are extensions and flexibility of settings. On this page it was noted “Microsoft will continue to establish deep integration of IE7 / Vista with Live.com and MSN”, as well as the fact that companies providing Internet services can present their own browsers (Yahoo? Amazon?).

So, Firefox tends to be the most used Web browser. It is noted that under Firefox AJAX applications will run faster. Also among the mandatory requirements listed for Firefox 3, it is planned to provide an “extensible end-to-end platform for bookmarks” (“an extensible bookmarks back-end platform”), adding support for Internet services that “act as content handlers” handlers ”) - all this indicates that in future versions, Firefox plans to become an independent information broker, and not just an HTML page recognizer. Microformats will also be part of the new Firefox, which are currently marked as the “most desirable” feature of Firefox 3.
Work is also underway on a new version of Internet Explorer 8 by Microsoft. According to ActiveWin.com , a spokesman for the CES (Consumer Electronics Show) said that work has already begun on 8 IE and it can be released as a final product "within 18-24 months." Obviously, now IE will compete even more with Firefox. Looking into the future, one thing is clear that IE will still cover the enhanced functionality that Vista offers.
Although Internet Explorer 7 and Firefox 2 are now similar, rather than different (they are practically the same functionally), with the release of IE8 and Firefox 3 we will see two of the largest browsers, developing in very different directions.
