“Quick: As of Feb. 2nd, 2010, out-of-process plugins
(OOPP) are now on by default for Windows and GNU/Linux builds and
will load Flash and all other plugins in a separate process by
default. Now…“Firefox 3.7a5pre now has an option to place the browser’s tabs
on top of the controls, similar to Google Chrome. This is likely
part of Mozilla’s plans to redesign Firefox for version 4. The new
option can be found in the right-click menu as “Tabs on Top” below
“Navigation Toolbar” and “Bookmarks Toolbar”.“Firefox 3.7a5pre handles the Add-ons window differently, as it
opens in a new tab rather than a new window. The Add-ons Manager
has also been redesigned and has animations such as “Search”
sliding in the left column when you search. The new Add-ons Manager
is written in XML. In the Add-ons Manager, there is the options:
“Get Add-ons”, “Languages”, “Search Engines”, “Extensions”,
“Themes”, and “Plugins”. The search box remains, and to update
Add-ons we now click the text link “Update add-ons”.”
