Things I love about Firefox 3

I had recently installed firefox 3 and I had fallen in love with the changes it has. So in this series I will be telling what I had found about Firefox 3 and tell you how cool it is.

The new Book Marking

Bookmarking was never so easy in Firefox before. Now you dont need to go and click bookmark menu item and then bookmark it but rather just hit the star button and it turns yellow telling you the page is bookmarked. And the next is edit bookmark part. If you see the image you would know how cool it is. The difference is in tagging. Now you can bookmark and add tags to it. So cool.

Extension Update feature:

This feature just makes things more clear. Till now you never knew what was the change made when a firefox extension gets update but with the “Get details button” You will just know it all. Moreover Firefox alos popsup a small notification just above the Clock area telling you there is an update availble to an extension. I missed taking a screen shot as it went off very quick

The new Site Verification Feature:

Firefox finally makes itself more secure. Any site you visit , Firefox 3 gathers whether its verified site or not. This doesnt mean the sites which are not verified are spammy but this is a good way to find things. Most of the blogs you will never get this thing. Any verified site just turns blue. Ah and You must have noticed the favicon is just before the address bar !!!

Download Popup just got better:

I think this feature got the major update. Now with your download window you can find the following things

  • Supports Resume or Pause.
  • You can copy the link and open the folder where it is ( Not sure But I have a doubt this was there but I never noticed it )
  • Now you can SEARCH in the list of already made downloads
Download manager for Firefox 3

Download manager for Firefox 3

Just in case would let you know, If you have started using DownloadAll Frefox Extension , which is the download manager for Firefox, It intigrates with the Download popup.

This is all for now but wait I have got more. Just waiting to find some more and I will be coming with one more post on this. So if you havent downloaded it just give a try to the from All rc version of firefox
