As Mozilla Corp. began the final push on Firefox 3.0 Beta 3 this week, it also announced that at least one more beta will be necessary before it starts building release candidates.
On Tuesday, Mozilla “froze” the code for Firefox 3.0 Beta 3. Testing of the beta is scheduled to start on Monday.
At the same time, in a message to the mozilla.dev.planning newsgroup, Mike Beltzner, Mozilla’s interface designer, said that a fourth beta would be required.
“[We] will be adding another milestone before moving on to Release Candidate builds,” Beltzner said. “Our goal is to do a quick turnaround on Firefox 3 Beta 4, but we cannot provide a good estimate until we know the size and scope of blockers remaining after the Beta 3 code freeze.”
As of Beta 3, all efforts will turn to addressing bugs that could stymie the preview’s release, Beltzner added. “We will be driving the list of blocking+, P1, target=beta 3 bugs to zero,” he said. As of Thursday at 9 p.m. (EST), there were three bugs that met his criteria; in Mozilla’s nomenclature, such bugs are dubbed “blockers,” meaning they are crucial enough that they require solutions before the beta is allowed to ship.
According to notes from a Tuesday meeting, Beta 3’s tentative schedule points toward a release on or about Feb. 13.

After being a Firefox promoter for about 2 years now, I was excited to hear about the Firefox 3 verison of the browser. Here are some of the improvements over version 2 o Firefox.
1. Better handling of downloads. You will be able to view not only what you are downloading, but from where you are downloading it from.
2. Better address bar (location bar for Firefox users). This feature will allow you to have autocomplete now, but not only from where you have been but also from your but also URL’s from your bookmark list.
3. A workable Bookmarks organizer. For me this was one of the “downfalls” of V.2, so I’m glad they are working on it. It will allow you to immediately change the bookmark attributes rather than having to do to properties of the URL.
4. Better memory management. This is something I wish came out earlier, but better late than never. We are yet to see a huge improvement, so we’ll be looking at the final beta and final version to include these items.
Here is the link to the Beta link.
If you find this useful, please comment. I’m looking to improve the site and wanted to see what people think and recommend. Thanks - Paul.
