Firefox 3 Feature Overview Screencast

If you are following the news about Firefox 3 you might have read about so many interesting new features and functions that have been implemented into the browser which sometimes can be a bit to much, especially with all the technical slang thrown into the news. A great way to see some of the new features in Firefox 3 is the great four minute screencast by Mozilla developer Mike Beltzner who is showing and explaining some of the Firefox 3 features in it.

What I like about the presentation is the concentration on the benefits. He is not only showing the new features but adding everyday value to them explaining how they enhance the web experience and make life easier for everyone.

The screencast is not a full feature showdown which would probably be impossible to do in four minutes anyway. He is concentrating on the new location bar, also called the awesome bar, malware protection, download manager, new bookmark management and site information.

This video actually has convinced me to make the switch from Firefox 2 to Firefox 3 RC2. I like the new awesome bar which will make life a lot easier especially with the Awesome Search add-on that I have reviewed earlier this week.

  1. I’ve been having some difficulties with installing some Firefox 3 features. I’m getting notification that my Firefox got updated, but the features themselves don’t work. WHY?

  4. Hey Martin!
    I think you are a mind reader. I was having lots of the difficulties with FF3 and your latest post, “Firefox 3: When Add-ons Do Not Work” gave me some great answers.
    Thanks!
