Firefox 3.1 Beta 3 Released

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the i-love-daft-punk dept.

ink writes "Mozilla has released the third beta for Firefox 3.1 (which may become Firefox 3.5). This beta includes the new location bar, Mozilla's new JavaScript engine Tracemonkey, new HTML5 features and many other enhancements. It looks the same on the surface, but there are many changes under the hood."

    This gets brought up every stinking time we discuss Firefox. But once again - oldbar does not get you totally back to the old location bar. There are still important differences. Yes, lots of people do not like Awesome Bar. Yes, many people are actually refusing to upgrade because of it.

    Just Mozilla playing catchup on Operas features. Let me know when they actually copy Opera's memory usage, speed and security...

    I too refuse to upgrade because of the unawesome bar BS.

      Wow! A few guys who worked on one open source browser are also contributing to another!

      Amazing work Sherlock!

    Ok, not informative, insightful, interesting or funny, fair enough. But it's not flamey, not trollish and it's certainly not offtopic. Can someone undo this stupid mod?
