First look at Firefox 3.0 Beta 1
I noticed that the Beta 1 for Firefox 3.0 was made available sometime yesterday. I’ve been curious as to whether the Firefox dev team would do a serious revamp for this release or just concentrate on bug fixes and performance improvements.

30.7.2006 Who wants or needs 64 bits?
It looks like the world isn't clamoring for 64-bit desktops just yet.
Nearly two and a half years have passed since 64-bit processors started going into PCs. But the software to take full advantage of these chips remains scarce, and customers aren't buying much of what's out there. The 64-bit chips provide greater performance than their older 32-bit counterparts, but that's because of speed upgrades and other architectural enhancements.

12.07.2006Firefox 3 Beta 4 review
Percy Cabello: Firefox 3 Beta 4 is about to be released (later today or tomorrow), as the twelfth milestone, in what already is the longest
development time for a Firefox version since the initial Firefox 1.0 back in 2004.
Fortunately, Mozilla has not been shy to set
as many milestones as needed, and given the many new features and tweaks Firefox 3 introduces, it seems anything but sensible, specially considering
its not only about Firefox but Gecko, the web page rendering engine and the Mozilla platform as a whole which affects the many products based on
it.

did said snooping and is now claiming that Office 14 will ship in 32-bit and 64-bit flavors. Located within the Migwiz.xml file shows the code
extensions that prove that a 64-bit version does exist. This is great news for users that can take advantage of the 64-bit flavor and should come
as welcomed news that Microsoft is expanding support for 64-bit. One day soon we will hopefully be able to drop 32-bit forever.

24.03.2009Mozilla considers third Firefox 3.1 beta for early January
The second Firefox 3.1 beta release is past due, but already we are hearing that a third beta will be necessary before Mozilla can proceed to a
release candidate, as it would give testers more time to try out with recently added features debuting in beta 2 such as Private Browsing Mode, Worker
Threads, Speculative Parsing and TraceMonkey. The open source group also needs more time to work on so-called "blockers" – bugs that are
deemed serious enough to hold up code to be frozen prior to a milestone release.
