No, its not the super stealth jet fighter in the movie starring Clint Eastwood although it was my favorite movie when I was young. Its the popular internet browser from Mozilla. Firefox 3 is touted to be as fast as IE7 multiplied by 5 & as fast as Firefox 2 multiplied by 3.
Woooo0..
Ok, so apart from being faster than its predecessor & of course, the less performing IE7; Firefox 3 Beta has some new improvements.
• Type in part of the URL it will offer suggestions based on past browsing. (I wonder where it saves all the information after we clear the cookies?) Unless the feature stays even after the cache is cleared, then I reckon its a good feature. I'm not worried about Firefox saving the information of my browsing habits permanently because it seems that it would have to in order to make the feature work.
• Better look & better menu controls.
• Zoom just the text or the whole page. Zooming the text was one feature I missed from Firefox 2 (Do you need it? Anyway, I never knew how to use it).
• Reduced memory usage. Old version often becomes unstable after a long session with many tabs open. Never mind the long sessions, I just open like 20 tabs & my computer slows down. PpHhbbTtt! :P
I'm still using Firefox 2 but will upgrade once Firefox 3 is no longer in Beta mode ooorrrr...it automatically upgrades itself. I usually let things upgrade itself when it comes to internet browsers. :-D How about you?
