Firefox Beta Touts Advanced Engine, Solves 8 Flaws

nandemoari writes "Mozilla may be this year's winner in the 'browser battles' as they ready the next beta version of their tour-de-force, Firefox 3.1. Mozilla is resolving eight critical vulnerabilities found in the current version of Firefox — a move sure to garner applause from devoted Firefox users. As this year's crop of new browsers emerges, enhanced features are becoming secondary to one thing: speed. Mozilla is nearly ready to release the next beta version of Firefox 3.1 to the public for testing, and insiders predict that it will outpace even Safari 4, which has been the fastest browser in wide release since its beta began last week." It looks like they also will be upping the next major release to v3.5 to better show the significance of the release.

> You must be doing something wrong (seriously)
If "by doing something wrong" you mean "you're a web developer" then you're probably right - I am. :)

If by "I am" you mean "I am a paedophile" then you probably didn't want to say that.

me: Well when that homeless guy that tried to rape and kill your wife came by the other day you called the cops. But you just let your mom right on in and hang out.
So you're equating Microsoft to a psychotic rapist and Mozilla to your mom....

Have you discussed this with your therapist?
