Now equipped with breakpads!
Firefox 3 will replace the Talkback crash reporter with Breakpad (formerly called “Airbag”), a multi-platform crash-reporting system designed by Google.
Increased privacy features
Firefox 3 will include a “Private web-browsing mode” that will disable all caching, cookie downloads, history records, and form data used during the current session.
A safe surfing environment for your children
One of Firefox’s proposed security implementations will be complete integration and compatibility with Vista parental controls. Although this feature has not been fully deployed on the pre-release, the notes say it will be added to the version before its full release.
Blacklisting
The blacklisting feature will run much like the blacklisting feature of most e-mail servers and spam detection software. Every time a website is reported to the list as a malicious site Firefox will warn or block others from accessing it.
Other proposed features of the new release will be:
* Website identity validation mechanism.
* Better system to inform user of security status.
* Alert user when they are about to enter information on a suspicious site.
* Advanced add-on and extension support
