Mozilla unveils alpha of Firefox 3.0

Still drooling over Firefox 2? The alpha version of Firefox 3.0, Gran Paradiso, has just been uploaded to Mozilla’s public FTP server for download.
According to the Mozilla Wiki, one new feature planned for Firefox 3 new is “places”,a fresh approach to bookmarks and browser history.
Another improvement is in the ‘tabbed browsing’ department, adding the ability to move around and reorder tabs in a single browser, as well as a button right next to the last open tab that brings up a new tab, taking another page out of the IE7 list of features.
Additionally, Firefox 3 will add the ability to receive automatic Firefox updates, like security updates. No word on an official release date yet, but can’t wait!
