The latest browser from Mozilla is the Firefox 3 .It has got some really cool features which you must know before using it so as to make 100% of it.
In Firefox 3 you can tag bookmarks and drag a URL from your browsing history directly into a bookmarks folder. A new smart bookmarks folder catalogs recently bookmarked, frequently visited and recently tagged sites
A star icon to the right of the URL in the address lets you add a new bookmark with one click, bu8t doing this unhelpfully leaves them in an unfiled category whose contents you can see only in the full bookmarks window.
On the security front, the phishing-site filter from Firefox 2, which uses a blacklist to blo9ck unknown phishing pages, can safe guard you from notorious malware pushing sites. And careless typers will appreciate the revised password saver: Instead of having to decide between saving and canceling a password before you know whether it’s the right one, you can defer that decision until after you log in.
Version 3 adds support for extended validation (EV) certificates, displaying a green button bearing the company’s name on sites, like PayPal that use them. To get more information on a certificate holder, click the button.
These changes make for a better basic application, but ultimately it’s the add-ons that make the browser. Firefox 3 helps you find new extensions by including in its add-ons window a ‘Get add-ons’ button for displaying and installing searched-for and recommended add-ons.
