What's new in Firefox 3.1
Two thing happened today almost simultaneously: first I found out that Firefox has reached the all time high usage of 20% and second, I noticed a new tab switcher.
First things first, according to TG Daily Firefox is at 19.97% market share. The big Firefox share can only make us happy since Firefox is one of the browsers that complies very well with the web standards.
Second thing, while browsing today with Firefox 3.1 Beta 1 from under Windows XP (I rarely use windws since I'm a linux guy) I noticed a new tab switcher in Firefox 3.1 Beta 1. The dark, vista like switcher looks kinda cool, offering previews of the tabbed sites, I guess it's a response to Opera's tab preview function. Image below.
