Firefox 3's better performance and memory improvements

At the Mozilla "open house", Mike Schroepfer, Mozilla Corporation vice president of engineering said that beta 5 of Firefox 3 will come out next week. It will be the last beta before release candidate 1, which is due for May; Firefox 3 should ship in June or before, if possible.

Schroepfer said, Microsoft's stated support for open standards (like CSS 2.1) is "a huge win for the Web." But "I wouldn't call it 'vigorously embrace,'". Lots of old standards are still not used.

Firefox will support HTML 5, which has a spec for offline access. This will make Google Gears obsolete, he said.

Firefox 3 will have less of the "Firefox look" and appear like a native app on Windows, Mac and Linux. It will support skins so you can pick your favorite look. Nearly everything is in the same place, but the back button is about twice as big.

FireFox 3 looks great with the memory improvement is must, since FireFox 2 uses a good amount of memory.

Can't wait for FF3 in June, and by the way FireFox has skins already called personas you can install and change at will.

i have both versions of FireFox installed and they take the same amount of memory, which is a lot comparing it to Opera.

riksweeney6683d ago

They should make the forward button twice as big instead.

The Firefox developers are essentially saying that backtracking and progress are bad and should be suppressed.

Or something like that anyway.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing75d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit75d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing75d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9275d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
