Mozilla Firefox 3.1 beta 3 in the News

Late last week Mozilla released Firefox 3.1 beta 3. There’s been much excitement in the media around the new beta and enhancements to features and performance. Coverage has highlighted improvements to web worker thread support, Private Browsing Mode, performance stability and the Gecko layout engine.

Gregg Keizer notes the enhancements to private browsing mode. He says, “Now, however, users can selectively tell the browser to “forget” specific already-visited Web sites from the History sidebar by right-clicking and choosing ‘Forget About This Site.’”

Ars Technica’s Ryan Paul says, “The 3.1 release will bring a lot of very impressive changes, including performance enhancements and new features for users and developers.“

Coverage highlights include Internet News, eWeek, Ars Technica, Lifehacker, ZDNet, PC Advisor, WIRED and CNet.
