Firefox 3 Rocks

Posted Jun 17, 08 2:20 PM CDT in Technology 

(Newser) – Download Firefox 3, out today. That’s what Michael Calore suggests on Webmonkey. The new version of the open-source browser lets users set application-specific links on Web pages—such as “mailto” links—to launch webapps instead of other applications—say, Gmail instead of Outlook. It also supports using webapps offline, allowing users to synch them up when they’re back on line. Read on to see Calore's reasons for saying the browser's among 2008’s “most kick-ass software releases.”

  • A smarter location bar that guesses what URL you’re seeking.
  • Better bookmarks based on starring and tagging.
  • Improved speed and performance.
  • Higher security.
  • Seamless workflow integration.
  • Nicer look and feel.

What is Newser?

2008 Codie Finalist

Face it: there's too much news. At Newser a team of editors and writers culls the most important stories from hundreds of U.S. and international sources and reduces them to a headline, picture, and two paragraphs. It's the Newser guarantee: we can take any report or column or video and pack what you need to know into 120 words or less. Newser's short-form aggregation, visual format, and unique information tools help you get more of the kind of news you want, in a quicker and more entertaining way. And we do it 24/7—you can come back morning, noon, night (and in between) for something new that matters. Read less, know more.
