Comments on: First Look at Firefox 3 http://www.firefoxfacts.com/2007/06/05/first-look-at-firefox-3/ Firefox tips, extensions, links and help!

My favorite Firefox 3 features: save as PDF, offline web applications support, microformats, improvements to the download manager which will hopefully include resume between sessions. Nothing in FF3 should really impress users right now. But in a near future, as more web apps add offline support (Gmail, Yahoo Mail, WordPress among my favorites), web developers and CMSs add microformats support, we'll turn back and see FF2 and contemporary browsers as we could now see a JavaScript-less, Flass-less, Netscape 2 or so. It's about progress. Alpha 5 has not been released yet but it will be very similar to the trunk as it is right now.
