Firefox 3 feaures

I tried the alpha version of firefox 3 but I didnt notice any visible change.I all looks just like v2.I cant wait to try out the beta version.

According to the mozilla blog Fireofx 3 has many ser interface feaures like

Places

bookmarks,saved pages and history stored under a whole new inrastructure called places

Malware

better malware detection collaborating with GOOGLE

UI

A new and better content control UI

Location bar

A brand new look o the location bar
The Firefox team is considering to remove favicon from the location bar, and changing the location bar so that everything except “Public Suffix + 2″ is greyed out.




Private Browsing Status

Private browsing will allow users to surf privately without any browser sessions being stored locally. Also to indicate private browsing sessions the look of the location bar or even the whole Firefox theme may change away.

Picsof these feaures are available on the mozilla blog
