Firefox 3 RC2 in June at MyTwentyFive.com

As cited at Mozilla Links, there will be a second release candidate (RC) for the next generation of Mozilla Firefox - Firefox 3. At present, Firefox 3 is released as release candidate 1 (RC1).

The Firefox 3 RC2 will include fixes for some top priority bugs causing crashes, performance inefficiency, and localization-releated issues. The RC2 is expected to be available for download in second week of June. Results of testing for Firefox 3 RC1 are available here.

I’m currently using Firefox 3 RC1, and I must say that I’m very happy with the overall experience. In oppose to installation of previous Firefox major RC upgrades, most of the Firefox plugins that I’m frequently using are already having latest releases compatible with Firefox 3, except Google Toolbar, ~~Firebug~~ (Firebug 1.2 Beta is compatible with Firefox 3) and All-in-One Gestures.

Firefox 3 includes a big bundle of notable new features and dramatic performance improvement (the fastest Firefox ever). Yes, go take a look at the Firefox 3 new features now, I’m sure you will find some interesting ones which will create excitement for you

To me, these are the new features that I love:

Resumable download after browser restart
Save tabs on exit
Search for web page from history and bookmarks by title, tag or address in location bar
Analyze and show keyword density (right click on web page, and select “Show Keyword Density…”)
CSS improvements

Firefox 3 offers built-in developer support for microformats, which is not just a jargon, but a cool thing. Click here to learn interesting examples of what microformats can do. Microformats are sure to deliver a revolutionary experience on how information and contents are presented and shared in the Internet, if there is built-in browser support. I’m simply thrilled, when thinking about the possibilities opened by microformats.
