The open source browser of Mozilla, Firefox will now have various new features in its versions 3.0 and 4.0. Mozilla released the firefox 3.0 second alpha version in February. I have been using Firefox since it was released and sticked on to it since then.
1. The new updates of 2.0 contains some cool features like live spell check which really comes in handy for me. But have always faced problems while running advanced Java Scripts. But Mozilla has announced to support the Java scripts in its 4.0 version.
2. Firefox will now solve your problem of being unable to type your emails offline. Yes, now Firefox will integrate to Gmail, Hotmail enabling the users to type their mails offline and send it whenever they get connected to the internet. According to Schroepfer, the Vice President for engineering for Mozilla in PC World article
So far, engineers have made Firefox work with Zimbra, an open-source e-mail, messaging and VOIP (voice over Internet Protocol) application. With a bit of code from Google Inc. and Microsoft Corp., it would be possible to integrate with Gmail and Hotmail and other e-mail services.
He added, There has been little innovation in managing the bookmarks and history as it will be automatically shuffled and organized according to the frequency and popularity rather than the static presentation. Also it will include a small SQL Database that will be useful to search and maintain the cache. Users can search for various images, files etc.
Also, Mozilla will soon set up a shared library of tested code that extension writers can download and use, Schroepfer said. Mozilla also relaunched its extension site, cutting back on the number of extensions listed so first-time users don’t overload their browsers and dampen their experience – This is because they have been receiving complaints on the performance ability of the firefox which is reduced due to the extensions.
So, lets all look forward for this new experience
