Firefox 3.0 Beta Released

Post a comment

If you are a fan of Mozilla or you are getting fed up of Internet Explorer, then Mozilla is updating its much respected broswer, Firefox. Entitled, Mozilla Gran Paradiso, it aims to better the graphics and text rendering and improve stability.


"Gran Paradiso Alpha 1 is being made available for testing purposes only, and is intended for web application developers and our testing community. Current users of Mozilla Firefox should not use Gran Paradiso Alpha 1."

This didn't stop me though when I chose to download the alpha of Firefox 3.0. I will delete it after this review as none of my widgets work and there isn't much benefit now to using it now. I noticed a speed increase though and the only physical change I saw were the File, Tools, etc; buttons became 3D when you hovered over them. If you aren't a web developer I'd suggest you'd wait until the next version comes out unless you don't have any add-ons associated with Firefox.

 

Cool Downloads Vol.2

Computer work gets tediuos and hard so here are a couple of downloads to ease the workload on you and your computer.

Snap Back To Reality
When you go and search up a term in Google or any other search let alone have a multitude of websites at your fingertips, you have no clue what to expect from each of them. So, what do you do? You start clicking them one by one, elimating each link as you go along. Wouldn't it be easier if you could click ALL the links at once, or a selective few. Pedro Fonseca thought the same way and he beat me to the development of an actual add-on. He titled it Snap Links and when installed, will enable you to right click and drag, across all the links you'd like to view. When coupled with , you will be offered a multitude of options including: open in new tab, open in new window, save to bookmarks, and copy to clipboard.

Tip Top Computer
Time eats many things up, metaphorically, including humans, animals, and products such as computers. This download though will work against time to bring back your hard drive to what it once was. CCleaner works unlike any other cleaning program as it not only tells you what to clean up within the browser, temp files, and recycling bin, but it goes further and looks at leftover files from programs like Adobe, Nero, HP, Microsoft, etc. It also comes with an uninstaller for other programs (as well as itself) and a registry scanner. Another notable is the included tag editor which enables you to check folders other than the defaults for scanning.

PC PitStop
This website is a personal recommendation of mine and is a must look when browsing for tips to fix your sick computer. It many free utilities that can be used directly from there website without the need for downloading. This includes an optimizer, performance scanner, and disk health. There are literally many more scans and tests you can run at this site and it's proven great for me.

Lest We Forget
IN FLANDERS FIELDS the poppies blow
Between the crosses row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
