Firefox 3 is waiting for user instructions
Mozilla has created a special page where everyone can leave their wishes regarding the third version of the Firefox browser.
The page in question is based on a wiki engine, which implies almost complete freedom of opinion. Already, it is thoroughly filled with useful tips related to both the features that users want to see in the future version, and software bugs - bugs that have not yet been eliminated in the second version.
Creating a page for the wishes of users is an excellent means of feedback, once again indicating that the developers are trying to actively interact with consumers of the manufactured product. From the very beginning of the project, its authors have been trying to actively develop this interaction, which, in principle, succeeded: users selflessly provided the browser with promotion on the Internet, creating communities, placing banners on their websites and even paying for Firefox advertising on large network resources. The share of plug-ins created by ordinary users still remains significant in the total collection , although the owners of large commercial projects, due to the popularity of the program, also develop add-ons to the browser.

It is important to note that Mozilla started collecting proposals for the third version even earlier than the official release of the second version, which is currently in the Release Candidate 2 stage. The final release is scheduled for the end of October, at the same time it is expected that its updated browser - Internet Explorer present and the company Microsoft . Apparently, Mozilla does not want to concede in the "browser race", using all the possibilities for the "promotion" of his brainchild.
Efforts in this direction are now particularly important because IE has strengthened its position among users over the past few months. According to statistics from OneStat.com , Microsoft's browser is now used by 85.85% of Internet users, which is 2.8% more than in July 2006, while Firefox’s figures dropped to 11.49% (by 1.44%). %). The simultaneous release of new versions of competing products will most likely cause further changes in statistics. Users will have to choose between new Internet Explorer features (such as tabs and RSS support) and the healing of Firefox’s old wounds.
