Πριν λίγη ώρα η Mozilla ανακοίνωσε την BETA 3 του Firefox 3 για αυτούς που θέλουν να δοκιμάσουν την τρίτη version του δημοφιλούς browser. Παρά το οτι πρόκειται για δοκιμαστική έκδοση και δε συνιστάται για όλους φαίνεται να έχουν διορθωθεί κάποια σημαντικά προβλήματα όπως αυτό της διαχείρισης μνήμης. Περισσότερες απο 1300 αλλαγές απο την προηγούμενη beta έγιναν σε αυτήν την έκδοση.
Αναλυτικά τα νέα στοιχεία και οι διορθώσεις στο BETA 3 όπως τα δίνει το mozilla developer center
