2.0 vs Opera 9.20 by softpedia.comLooking for a better, free browser has been restricted for many years. The market did not offer too many choices and Internet Explorer was by far the easiest way to go. However, its mischiefs soon echoed on our computers and we were compelled to strap it with a myriad of applications designed to reject the nasties and alert us upon intrusion.After year 2000, the viable alternatives for the average user were either the faulty Internet Explorer from Microsoft or the ad-ware filled Opera from Opera Software. And, as the attacks towards the market share "owner" at the time (IE6) intensified, Mozilla Foundation was created and gave us hope again. The start was timid and from one year to another people did not know what to call the new browser from Mozilla: Phoenix or Firebird? The issue settled once the publishers of the application decided to register a trademark for the name Firefox.Baptized thrice, Firefox soon became an appealing alternat
Firefox 2.0 Vs. IE7 2007-06-02 14:47:00 In one corner we have Internet Explorer 7. After 18 months of development and a shiny new set of tabs, he's in top shape and looking better than his predecessor ever did. That is, before he entered the ring with Firefox
2.0. Now he's just a cripple with fancy RSS reading.This battle wasn't pretty. Lifehacker's own Gina Trapani points out that, "Ironically, Fx runs on more versions of Windows than IE 7 does." And it was all downhill from there. While IE 7 was away training in the Himalayas for a year and a half, living off walnuts and squirrel meat, Firefox was poking his wife, being a fill-in-dad for his kids, wearing his favorite tighty whities and learning all his secrets.Check out our graphs, but equip yourselves with those special solar eclipse glasses first. Then hit the jump for our Frankenfight—where whomever yells the loudest wins. It's sort of the new policy.OK, fuck this unbiased attitude. Firefox 2 just froze on me while typing this. It can burn in hell.Wait, it just

Features :Enjoy a Better Web Experience 2007-06-02 14:09:00 Enjoy a Better Web ExperienceThere’s a lot to do on the Web, and Firefox 2 is full of helpful features to make your time online more productive.Improved Tabbed BrowsingWe love tabs as much as you do, so Firefox 2 will open new web pages in tabs by default. Each of those tabs has its own close button, but don’t worry - if you accidentally close a tab, just go to the History menu to bring it back from the list of “Recently Closed Tabs.” You’ll never be crunched for space anymore, either. When you have too many tabs open to comfortably fit in a single window, scroll arrows will appear on either side, and a button on the right side will always show you an easy-to-read list of all your open tabs.Session RestoreLosing your place while you’re doing things on the Web is a pain. Now, with Session Restore, if Firefox has to restart or closes when it comes back you’ll pick up exactly where you left off. The windows and tabs you were using, the text you typed into forms, and the in-p
Introduction 2007-06-02 13:51:00 IntroductionFirefox is one of the most critical delivery vehicles for Gecko, and eventually XULRunner. Our goal is to continue to build a "best of breed" browser product for Windows, Linux and Mac OS X. We have ambitious goals for the workload between now and our next major release set. This document is a description of our current thinking on how we intend to get to Firefox 2. Feature ContentFeature planning and discussion is now done entirely in the Mozilla Wiki. See Firefox 2 Product Planning for more information.Branch PlanFirefox 2 will be based on continued development of the Gecko 1.8 branch created for Firefox 1.5. The goal is that Firefox 1.5 and 2 are compatible from a web developer's point of view. New APIs may be added, but existing ones should not be removed. The content of the Firefox 2 release is to be mostly user-focused and performed on the 1.8 branch, as significant Gecko changes requiring 12 months of shake-n-bake are ongoing on the trunk. Care must be taken by deve Read more:Introduction
