Firefox3 的新功能

Mozilla 發佈 Firefox3.0 計畫新功能

• Improved interaction with Add-ons: clearer, more coherent language; less steps to install; more visible way to configure add-ons, probably to be moved back to the general Options window, which I hope deeply; more noticeable alerts when updates are available; a permanent restart Firefox button.
• Support for remote bookmarks, bookmarks and history annotation.
• Files could be handled by web services. If I am reading this correctly, this could mean you would be able to click on an attached document and open it with something like Writely or Google Documents. Or perhaps, as I asked Santa, the ability to redirect mailto: links to web email services.
• A much needed print support to prevent cut paragraphs and true WYSIWYG.
• The much requested MSI installer which will be a much welcomed improvement for IT administrators as it will ease deployment and updating of Firefox across a company.
• In the security front: support for Microsoft CardSpace and OpenID (check tomorrow’s article for more coverage on this). Smarter credentials handling.
• Airbag, the Google backed open source crash reporting tool will replace currently licensed TalkBack.

改善 Add-ons 介面、 支援遠端的書籤功能、改善列印功能達到 "所見即所得"、支援微軟 CardSpace and OpenID 安全協定、TalkBack回報錯誤將由 Google 開放源碼工具 Airbag 取代。


還有高度期望的功能

• A private web browsing mode. I guess this would mean no cache, history, password or form information.
• Save web pages as PDF files, plus integrated with history. That would be just awesome.
• Support pause/resume downloads across sessions.
• Make Firefox help accessible only while online. Not sure how good and idea this is.
• Microformats support.

私人瀏覽模式(應該指較高的安全隱私設定)、將頁面另存成 PDF 檔、支持續傳功能、支持 Microformats 功能。
