Mozilla Firefox 3 Features Screencast

An anonymous reader points to a mention at MozillaZine of "a screencast by Mozilla developer Mike Beltzner, demonstrating some of the new features in Mozilla Firefox 3, which is due out very soon. Weighing in at under four minutes, the screencast gives a concise overview of why you should be excited about Firefox 3. Due to its visual nature, the screencast shows Firefox's features far more clearly than the many written previews that have been published. A picture really is worth a thousand words."

Great!

I've got like 4,200 bookmarks...I tried organizing them a few times...that was a lesson in futility.

Weight in minutes?

Dagnabbit, I can't find the conversion chart for that one anywhere, and I really want to know what I weigh in minutes.

Excellent!

Not only will this let me I better organize my porn links, but I can avoid those Icky Malware sites, too!

Thank you Team Mozilla! The world is a better place because of your hard work.

Now, where'd I put my tube of lube...

You don't need a browser, you need a secretary.

This sneak peak at Firefox wasted an hour of my life, watching treadmill kittens on You Tube!

Hey, come on, be fair!

Can a secretary block pop ups for you?

Can a secretary show you naked women?

'nuff said!

2%...really? You think only 2% of /. users have flash installed? Even if that is a hyperbole, it seems a bit extreme.

It would explain why YouTube is such a dismal failure...

I hope this feeling will subside [xkcd.com] quickly.

If you are asking this question, you got the wrong kind of secretary.

Re:Great!

[lanc]

sure. and if you invest a little more time, you could even integrate it into the browser menubar in drop-down tree-form.

YHBT. YHL. HAND.

After reading your comment, I came to the conclusion that "lubetube" would be the greatest name for a porn version of youtube ever.

Turns out, I wasn't the only person that thought so...

[moosesocks]

that would be quite unrealistic - it's like saying that with a flying reindeer powered sleigh you can not only solve the travelling salesman problem in no time, but also visit every household in a single night

The mods need to get a clue.

I believe it's a well-known fact that the current mod system allows users to only have mod points or a clue. ;-)

Can a secretary block pop ups for you?

Maybe if she stands in front of your screen?

You obviously don't surf porn. If you surf porn for half an hour you'll visit dozens and dozens of sites. Unless you visit a HUGE number of non-porn sites, then many of the two-letter sequence you type in the "awesome bar" (groan) will display large, colorful evidence, clearly legible from across the room, of the fact that you have surfed porn sometime in the last month.

Sticking to the theme (established above) of what happens when you type "sl" to get to Slashdot, the first suggestion for me is actually Slashdot, but the second suggestion is a porn page. This has been bothering me for weeks. I know you'll wonder if I've hit that page a bunch of times, so I just checked: the chick doesn't look familiar or even remotely hot, so I'm sure I didn't visit it more than once.

For some reason (probably legibility and/or predictability) I didn't worry nearly as much about the history drop-down.

Fortunately, although my friends notice my reluctance to look things up on the internet when they're around, they think I'm just a Luddite, or I'm showing off my ostentatiously non-geeky preference for IRL stuff. When I'm forced to use the web in front of somebody else, I use Google for EVERYTHING because Google search results do not, thank God, advertise what I do when I'm alone. Yet.

(The third suggestion from the "awesome bar" is developers.slashdot.org. C'mon. I view that page almost every day. It would be so awesome if it was listed higher than the porn page I visited a month ago.)
