Nobody claimed it was revolutionary here, simply stating some facts about why people like Firefox. The features it has that IE lacks. Yes, I'm sure MS could implement them, but they haven't done those things, that's the point. I don't think many people are concerned if they can or can't do it, the point is they haven't. I'll switch to whatever I like the most at the current time. If IE comes out with something better, then I'd switch to IE, if they simply come up to speed with Firefox, why would I switch back, same different pile. But right now, they're not the same and IMO Firefox is winning. |

probably mostly bug fixes.. however look for major corporations to start mass-producing plug-ins for it after this release. |

If you've tried the PRs then you wont' see much of a difference.
From the unofficial change log..
| quote: |
* New options for controlling where links from other applications open.
* New experimental options for controlling where links in web pages open. To make these experimental options appear, set browser.tabs.showSingleWindowModePrefs to true in about :config.
* Firefox is now available in 14 languages.
And improvements:
* "Sort by name" in Bookmarks should sort siblings, not children.
* Information bar (blocked popup, missing plugin, etc) should be closeable.
* View Source should use Find Toolbar.
* Find toolbar loses content when new tab clicked.
* Disable sites reloading onresize. (Many sites reload onresize to work around bugs in Netscape 4. This caused problems in Firefox due to tabs, the Find bar, and information bars.)

A nice surprise was the default page pointing to:
http://www.google.com/firefox
Maybe Durafei can tell us a little bit more about that? :) |
