Firefox 3 RC2 Available
Posted by admin | Filed under Off the Wall, Web Development
Firefox version 3, Release Candidate 2 is now available for download! The immediate improvement I noticed: speed. Version 3 appears to start up a bit faster, load pages faster, and handle javascript-laden pages faster. Also nice to see were the numerous tasteful UI enhancements. Firefox has always had a simple UI before, and I'm glad they didn't make the mistake of overhauling the interface for some whiz-bang features (see IE7). There are subtle enhancements that the average user probably won't even consciously notice like fading in of highlighted tabs, site icons next to sites in the URL, smooth tab scrolling, and subtle toolbar color differences that better define action areas. It's great to see smooth and subtle changes like this to further enhance this great browser.
