Firefox 3 beta 2
A little bit late I will share my joy.
Firefox 3 Beta 2 is released. Slowly but confidently developers are moving to release.
The most tasty of Changelog:
- Security enhancements: Integrate anti-virus into the download manager and check versions of "unsafe plug-ins."
')
- Improved usability: Password Manager, simplified installation of add-ons, new download manager with the ability to resume downloads (in beta2 it continues to be improved and now it will be easier to understand where the downloaded file was saved and where it actually downloaded), full zoom pages, animated tabs panel, better integration on Wednesday operating system.
- Improved personalization tools: Bookmarking with one click, "smart" bookmark folders, the ability to register WEB-applications as protocol handlers. (I think it’s about links like: googledocs: // or about the fact that you can open local files in the same Google Docs just by clicking on the file).
- Improved platform features: a new architecture for rendering fonts and graphics rendering, JavaScript 1.8, many changes in the HTML engine associated with better CSS support, support for offline web applications (it would be interesting to take a look).
- Improved performance: improved reliability of user profiles, architectural changes for faster rendering of pages, more than 330 bug fixes and memory leaks, as well as a new XPCOM cycle collector (I apologize, but could not clearly translate, I will be glad to comment), allowing you to avoid new leaks and memory fragmentation. Work in this direction is not finished and there will be even more corrections in future releases.
