Mozilla Starts Work On Firefox 3.0
With Firefox 2.0 out the door last week, Mozilla is turning its attention to version 3.0, with a goal to deliver the new browser about this time next year.
Among the features Mozilla wants for Firefox 3.0 is Places, the revamped bookmark tool that was dropped from 2.0 development in April. "We definitely didn't want to add [Places] until it was ready for prime time," says Mike Schroepfer, Mozilla's director of engineering.
Places will store both bookmarks and browsing history in a database that users will be able to search for sites they want to revisit. "Bookmarks and [browsing] history haven't changed in years," Schroepfer says.
