According to Mozilla, we’ll be seeing Firefox 3 sometime in the last quarter of the year. Take that, Microsoft! It’s amusing that a group of volunteers can build an amazing browser (the best on the planet ) that quickly, while a team of paid engineers working for the World’s Biggest Software Company takes five years for a mediocre product that’s still nothing compared to Firefox.

In Firefox 3, we’ll see security improvements, support for off-line web apps, some “identity management tools”, and a revamped bookmarking system known as “Places”. Uh oh, “revamped”? I don’t like the sound of that…

I hope they don’t go polluting the browser with rubbish I don’t need. Why would I want “support for off-line web apps”? I have broadband! I’m pretty much never offline. What they really need to do is make it load faster. As for bookmarks, they work pretty well right now, but they’re kind of…out of hand. I tend to just through everything in the root of the bookmarks folder. I need to get around to sorting through my bookmarks. IT’s hard to find anything without using the search in the Bookmarks Sidebar.
