I think we are about to see browser wars between firefox and google Chrome. Hirefox is in a vulnerable position as 80% of its money comes from google.

Here is something that a lot of firefox fans will welcome. Firefox 3.1 Beta 2 was released to the public Monday, but Mike Beltzner, director of Firefox development, said that Mozilla is already targeting Firefox 3.1 Beta 3 for a February 2009 release.

In an e-mail to ChannelWeb.com, Beltzner outlined some of the important features that come with Beta 2 and the reasons for releasing Firefox 3.1 Beta 3.

“Firefox 3.1 Beta 2 includes some big changes (Web worker threads, Private Browsing Mode and Tracemonkey) and it was felt that another public consultation point would be needed before we were ready to move to release candidates,” Beltzner wrote.

Just came across an interesting website done in flash

http://www.thecoronabeach.com/

Check out the preloader where the numbers are created in sand. Also explore the interactive flash when you get in. The site does not have any menus and a user has to interact to find surprises. The site is slow to load and animate though– Something Flash developers need to work on when putting lot of large images, audio, video and code in a flash movie. Overall a great idea. Enjoy.
