What awaits us after Firefox 3.5?
The article-translation omits moments related to the fact that the release of 3.5 release itself will be introduced - this has already been written about. It will also be told about what awaits us in the future, beyond FF 3.5. Translated only the main theses.
- Mozilla has a number of improvements planned for the next FF release with the code name Namoroka.
One of them is a process isolation technology called Electrolysis, the purpose of which is to protect the fall of the whole Fox. This will help the browser to stay afloat when falling in a single tab (doesn’t it remind you anything? =)), Because FF today falls completely and with noise, while providing a less beautiful solution to restore all tabs after a reboot.
')
The first phase of Electrolysis will be the isolation of plug-ins, such as Adobe Systems' Flash, so the problem in the flash will not drop the entire browser.
“Development is moving faster than we expected, and by the end of July, we hope that we will have a prototype Electrolysis.”
At the next stage, there will be a wider isolation technology, which will allow to separate the processes from the tabs. The prototype of this solution will appear somewhere at the end of the year ...
Also in the future we are waiting for the 64-bit version of FF for Mac. We already have people working on this, most of the work will be done by the end of the quarter. Again, this is the timing of the prototype, not the release.

Despite the fact that the 64-bit version of Windows is distributed - “It is not among the platforms we support.” Said Beltzner (Mozilla FireFox browser development director).

Apple's new OS, Snow Leopard, is fully 64-bit, including Safari, and Apple boasts that JavaScript runs much faster on the 64-bit version.
Most addons to Foxx will have to move seamlessly to 64bit versions, except those that include software compiled for 32bit platforms.
Naturally, we are waiting for improvement in speed, load and speed of the interface, where without it from release to release.
