Only six weeks after the launching of the definitive version 2.0 of Firefox, the Mozilla Foundation have just released the Alpha edition of version 3.0. The “Gran Paradiso” project has been underway now for more than a year now and is planned for release at the end of 2007. Its focus is on greater integration with Web 2.0 applications.
Other improved features of this Alpha release include yet more Anti-Phishing protection, more search suggestions in the search box for Google and Yahoo, and support for client-side session and persistent storage. Bon Echo releases so far include changes to tabbed browsing behavior, a search plugin manager for removing and re-ordering search engines, better support for previewing and subscribing to web feeds and a new microsummaries feature for bookmarks.
Builds of Firefox Alpha 3.0 are available for testing here:
