What you can expect from Firefox Beta 1?
Installation was quick and easy.
Since add ons for Firefox 3 aren’t quite ready this is a bit of wasted step.
This isn’t all that surprising.
And another warning about how Firefox 3 is for testing only.
One of the changes is more bookmark and annotations for pages. For instance, Firefox 3 tracks recent visited favorites and allows for tagging of pages.
The bookmark manager has been improved with the ability to tag specific pages for better organization.
The add on manager is a nice touch and can save you a few clicks with disable and uninstall options readily available.

The DOM inspector of Firefox 3 allows you to look at the underpinnings of any page.
Firefox 3 has added some security enhancements to find Web forgeries and prevent phishing attacks.
What you’d see if there was a site with malware.
Firefox 3 is a stickler for SSL certificates. You can exempt sites though with a few clicks.
