The war of browser between Microsoft and Mozilla is never going to end….
When Mozilla came out with Firefox 2, Microsoft could be heard of coming out with IE 7. Now, when firefox goes for an upgrade, so goes Internet Explorer.
Mozilla on Wednesday released the second beta version of Firefox 3.0 that promises enhanced security features and performance capabilities. “We encourage testers to download and install the Beta 2 release to test it against the Web sites they normally visit, and provide feedback about any incompatibilities,” Mozilla said in a statement. “It is intended for testing purposes only.”
Beta 2 also includes revamped personalization tools, improved text and graphics rendering, support for offline browsing and Web-based protocol handlers, and full-page zooming, Mozilla said.
While on the other hand, IE8 has passed the “Acid2 Browser Test” from the Web Standards Project, which shows whether a browser renders a Web site in a certain way. If the browser renders the site correctly, it means the browser supports certain accepted Web standards.
Microsoft plans to release the first Beta version in the first half of 2008. Microsoft said the final release of IE8 depends upon feedback received from the beta process. With this statement, why I feel that the final version can be expected latest by 2009,
Are you also like me, a multiple GMail A/c user?? Can’t save your GMail password in Firefox as you have to sign in to different ids again and again?? Here is a nice cool plugin for you… the GMail Manager.
GMail Manager is a Firefox plugin that helps you manage different Gmail accounts in the same Firefox window. The extension lets you receive email notifications, and display your account details which includes unread messages and snippets from new mail.
This is a very efficient and simple extension allowing you to quickly see when you have new mail. When you receive new email, you can simply click the GMail button on the browser and you’ll be taken directly to your email account – you don’t need to bother entering your username and password. Managing multiple Gmail accounts is a breeze. You don’t have to go through several keystrokes & logins. Just click on your required account’s name & this plugin will automatically instruct Firefox to login to that particular account.
Interested in using it?? Just go here and download it…
Here I got some Mozilla Firefox Tips and Tricks from a website….

# If you wish to remove an item from your Address Bar Drop down menu, highlight it without clicking and press Shift+Delete.

# Double Clicking empty space on the Tab Bar will open a ‘New Tab’
# Holding down the Ctrl key when you right click to “View Image†or “View Background Image†will open the image in a New Tab or New Window.
# A bookmarks folder’s position can also be dragged & dropped but you must hold down the SHIFT key while Dragging.
# To prevent a website from replacing/changing your right click context menu go to Tools > Options > Web Features then click the “advanced tab†and de-select “remove or replace context menusâ€. Inf Firefox 2 and above go to Tools>Options> content>Advanced
# You can work offline in Firefox just go to File > Work Offline. This means that you can browse your previously visited pages even when you’re offline this is a really cool feature but not many people who use it.
# You can bookmark the current page by dragging the icon from the location bar to your Bookmarks folder. You can also drag it to the desktop to make an icon for that page.
