From our front-page news:
I admit it. Whenever I see a new "Beta" for an application, I don't pay much attention. This is especially true with Mozilla's Firefox, since I now that even if I wanted to test it out, none of my extensions would work. But, my poor attitude aside, Beta 3 for Firefox has just been released, and reviews are fantastic so far, so it does deserve a little attention.
In fact, Ryan Paul at Ars Technica was so impressed with the latest beta that he went on to say, "I'm convinced that Firefox 3 is very close to being ready for widespread adoption." After taking a look through the article, I am very tempted to go give it for a spin myself. The better Add-On and Bookmarks management is keen. Worth a look, but remember that if you give this a try, it might make reverting back to Firefox 2 somewhat of a chore, so it might be smart to use a secondary profile for testing.

In nightly builds that have been released since the beta 3 code freeze, the bookmark process has been refined further. When the user bookmarks the page by clicking the star icon in the URL bar, the browser will inform the user that the page has been bookmarked, but will not provide access to any of the other bookmark information unless the user clicks the Edit button.
