Firefox 3 gives browser security Web app makeover
Closed Published December 21st, 2007 in Browser Security, Firefox
Mozilla has released a new beta version of Firefox 3, with the popular open source Web browser featuring significant new features that according to its makers will improve security, ease of use and the rendering of Web pages. For the new era of rich Internet applications, the browser can now run Web-based applications even when the computer is disconnected from a network.
The beta software, released on Monday, is available in 20 different languages for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux, at Mozilla’s download site. Although Microsoft’s Internet Explorer remains the dominant Web browser, the open source rival has achieved a critical mass of users — Firefox has been downloaded more than 400 million times — and it is now common for designers to make sure their Web pages work with the browser. Even Microsoft has bowed to this reality, testing its Live.com Web sites with Firefox and helping with technical issues such as playing Windows Media files from Web pages.
