The holy grail of all us people who work in Firefox day in, day out (and, unfortunately, often endure slowdowns and lockups) - Firefox version 3 - seems to be near completion. As of today, Firefox 3 beta 2 is available for download and testing purposes; however, don’t get your hopes up just yet. As the folks of Mozilla say, “with this second beta, you’ll get a taste of what’s coming in Firefox 3, but there’s still more to come, and much of what you’ll see is still a bit rough around the edges.”

Still, if you’re the adventurous type, it’s worth trying. since it includes “approximately 900 improvements over the previous beta, including fixes for stability, performance, memory usage, platform enhancements and user interface improvements.” Much of this stuff comes from the community feedback from the first beta.

Some of the improvements (some are from beta 1) that caught our eye are:

- clicking on the favicon now gives information on the site owner
- Firefox now informs anti-virus software when downloading executable files
- better password management
- download manager further improved from beta 1
- resumable downloading (there is a God after all)
- text selection improvements (word by word, paragraph, multiple text selection)
- better integration with Vista, Mac and Linux
- single-click bookmark adding
- web applications, such as Gmail, can now handle mailto: links
- major architectural changes which should result in a speedier performance
- 300 memory leaks plugged (a very important fix that should hopefully reduce those slowdowns to a distant memory)

Firefox has just been updated to version 2.0.0.9.
This stability update corrects several problems that were found in the previous release, Firefox 2.0.0.8.

The 2.0.0.8 release fixed some 200 issues, but accidentally regressed a few things. Most users won’t see any difference or experience any problems, and those 200 fixes make the 2.0.0.8 update very valuable.

The specific problems are:  …
