"Reaction [beta]"

Firefox 3 Beta 2 released 21 Dec 2007

On Tuesday evening, Mozilla announced the official release of Firefox 3 Beta 2, the tenth major developer milestone in the Firefox 3 development timeline. The new beta includes approximately 900 improvements over its predecessor, most of which are under-the-hood enhancements affecting stability, securiity and performance; however there are a few user interface tweaks including:

  • Resumable downloading: You can now resume downloads after restarting your browser or resetting your network connection.
  • Full page zoom: Lets your zoom in and out of entire pages, scaling the layout, text and images accordingly.
  • Text selection improvements: Lets you make multiple text selections with Ctrl/Cmd; double-click drag selects in "word-by-word" mode; and triple-click paragraph selections.
  • Find toolbar: Is populated with the currently selected text when opened.
  • Tags: Lets you associate keywords with your bookmarks, allowing you to sort them by topic.
  • Location bar and auto-complete: Type in all or part of the title, tag or address of a page to see a list of matches from your history and bookmarks; a new display makes it easier to scan through the matching results and find desired pages.
  • Smart Bookmarks Folder: Provides quick access to recently bookmarked and tagged pages, as well as more frequently visited pages.
  • Places Organizer: Allows you to view, organize and search through all of your bookmarks, tags, and browsing history with multiple views and smart folders to store your frequent searches.

Is it just us, or are these all fairly unremarkable?

Houses are not very cheap and not everyone is able to buy it. But, loans are created to aid different people in such hard situations.
