Firefox 3 – More Beta 2 Goodies

Firefox 3 Beta 2 just rolled out and I have to say things just keep looking better and better. I mean, I’m not really all that disappointed with Firefox now but with what is being done there are tons of improvements on the way.

This recent release includes approximately 900 improvements over the previous beta, including fixes for stability, performance, memory usage, platform enhancements and user interface improvements. Awesome news all around.

Here are a few more details worth mentioning:

Star button: quickly add bookmarks from the location bar with a single click; a second click lets you file and tag them.

Places Organizer: view, organize and search through all of your bookmarks, tags, and browsing history with multiple views and smart folders to store your frequent searches.

New Download Manager: the revised download manager makes it much easier to locate downloaded files, and displays where a file came from.

Are we we excited yet? How about the news that 300 individual memory leaks have been plugged, and a new XPCOM cycle collector completely eliminates many more.

    I've been using both Firefox 2 and Beta 3 v2 for a few days now and I haven't noticed anything I could could describe as 'uberslow and ultrabuggy'.

    I'd switch to beta 3 v2 today if my favorite add-ons were compatible. I really look forward to the full release.

    I disagree, I think that Beta 2 is a very fast browser, and that's all I'm really using it for, as these new features don't seem that necessary right now

    Tried the beta; it's uberslow and ultrabuggy. I would like to see an update that had FEWER features slowing me down and cluttering up my browser. An update where the amount of code and the amount of CPU needed to run it was cut in half. The limit of Firefox as these neat little "goodies" increases is Explorer.
