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.

Best Firefox extensions
When you ask most people what Web browser they use, the answer often will be Internet Explorer. After all, it comes preloaded on Windows PCs, so most people just use it by default.
But while IE maintains a stranglehold on the majority of computer systems, Mozilla's open-source solution, called Firefox, has made significant inroads into the browser market. Handy extra features are part of the reason for its growing success, as is the continual supply of third-party add-ons.

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.

07.03.2008Mozilla 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.
