The Mozilla organization on Tuesday posted Beta 3 of Firefox 3.0, for Windows, Macintosh, and Linux platforms. The beta's release notes are indicating substantial progress on new and so far unseen features.
Should a browser be overwhelming? I always thought of them as enablers. It's the web developer that uses the capabilities of the browser to overwhelm(or underwhelm).

With FF, it is probably more holes to plug later on. The security misfortunes of FF in 2007 really have taken most of the reason to use it away now that IE has tabs. And with no mechanism to centrally patch FF in the Enterprise like Microsoft has for IE (WSUS), it is a major headache for IT. Either you have to rely on end users to apply patches (like that will happen) or you have to create an update package from your method of software push technology and test the heck out of it before pushing it. Either way, FF is a bigger pain in the behind for an Enterprise than IE. Until it can be easily and centrally patched, FF updates are nothing to get excited about.
