Firefox 3.0

Firefox 3.0, the world wide famous browser newest edition was release on 17th June. just got the time to test them now. so here goes

some screenie and a little review on the changes

the new address bar autocomplete, when you type a letter, they show all sites you’ve been on with that letter on. weird, but probably it will come in handywhen you are looking for some site but what you remember was just one letter of the site address(yah rite?)

the new bookmarking, lets you bookmark with just one click, then two click on the starry figure to remove it. neat indeed :D. this will surely come in handy. I really had a hard time removing bookmarks, with all the menu accessing thing.

next stop, this is actually my favourite. the all new zooming feature. with the new zooming feature you can zoom in and out the web page, but guess what, that’s not all, you could just zoom the text only and leave the pictures intact. nice one huh!

The fox actually claims to have made about more than 15,000 improvements, but we just don’t have the time to go through all the new stuff rite? by the way the fox 3.0 also get some bad review on securites aspects.

We verified the vulnerability in our lab, acquired it from the researcher, then promptly reported the vulnerability to the Mozilla security team shortly after. Successful exploitation of the vulnerability could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code. (http://dvlabs.tippingpoint.com)

So I’m gonna give this firefox a try for several days, and writeback some more reviews later. until then lets just hope the vurnerability won’t get me somewhere bad.
