Firefox 5 To Integrate Tab Web Apps

Posted by CmdrTaco on Wednesday February 16, 2011 @04:45AM from the i-prefer-diet-tab dept.

An anonymous reader writes "We are hearing that Firefox 4 is now scheduled for a late March release and that the company has some issues fixing the right bugs as more non-blocking than blocking bugs are patched. However, on a positive note, the UI design team has posted some intriguing mockups of partial Firefox 5 interfaces. The big change will be the creation of a site-specific browser, which turns websites into tab apps within Firefox 5. This is the first time we are seeing Mozilla's ideas on how to deal with the app-ification of the Internet and a strategy to keep the web browser relevant."

Re:How about some security? by Chrisq · 2011-02-16 05:12 · Score: 3, Informative

All the other browsers are adopting a decent security model with process separation and enforced sand boxing of plugins and tabs. How about catching up with some decent engineering, instead of another GUI mock up?
They are doing as part of the electrolysyis project, though I can't see how this fits in with their release roadmap.
