Firefox 3 Beta 2

Mozilla introduced the second beta of Firefox 3 a bit before Christmas. It's a great step forward, it adds just one significant new feature.

It's quite stable on Windows. The new feature is kind of neat: Mozilla enhanced the autocomplete tool, which Firefox uses to guess the URLs you want when you start typing in the address bar. In Beta 1, Firefox searched your history, bookmarks, page titles of places you've visited and bookmarked, and bookmark keywords and tags to try to guess what you're looking for. In Beta 2, Firefox spruces up the dropdown from the address bar that Firefox uses to show you the pages it guessed. The dropdown now has a horizontal rule between entries, it shows the title of the pages it's suggesting, and it highlights which parts of the page title or URL match the entered text. The downloads window in Beta 3 has been enhanced, showing you the domains from which the file was downloaded.

Download Firefox 3 Beta 2 from the Firefox beta page.
