Firefox 1.1 Boasts New Features

Posted by timothy on from the on-a-roll dept.

Distro Jockey writes "The Fedora Core Blog gives a review of the features we can expect from Firefox 1.1. Many uses have been running the latest trunk builds and seeing dramatic improvements in page rendering, managing many tabs quickly, and the much-anticipated fix for the /. layout bug. From the article: 'One major new feature in Firefox 1.1 is the "Sanitize" feature. This enables secure browsing with much more ease. Select the "Sanitize" option in the preferences and Firefox will scrub your profile of sensitive information (which you select in the preferences).'"

    There have been memory leaks connected with tabbed browsing in Firefox for years now. No-one on the Mozilla team seems interested in fixing them, as it requires actual hard work.

    Don't worry, by the time Firefox has those features, I'm sure Opera will have innovated something new that you've got to have.

    I mean, Firefox is great and all - but can't they do any better than just copy Opera?
