审查的Mozilla Firefox 3 Now that the much awaited现在,期待已久 Mozilla Firefox 3 has been released Mozilla Firefox的3已被释放 , it is time for a review. ,这是一个检讨的时候。 I am sure others will have reviewed Firefox already, but I felt that I needed to spend more time with the 'fox before writing a review.我相信其他人则有火狐已经审查,但我觉得我需要花的'狐狸书面检讨之前,更多的时间。

Let me just start off by saying that I am totally loving Firefox 3.让我首先说,我把爱完全火狐3。 It is, in many ways, what Firefox 2 was meant to be but wasn't – quicker response times, lower memory usage and fewer crashes (I have not had any).它在许多方面,Firefox 2的是什么意思是,但没有-更快的反应时间,更低的内存使用和更少的崩溃(我还没有的话)。 Of course, there still remains work to do, and Firefox 3 hasn't improved much by way of startup times.当然,仍有工作要做,和Firefox 3没有改善的启动时间的方式很多。 Of course, blasting an otherwise useful software for startup times would be like ditching Adobe Photoshop just because it takes a lot of time to load up.当然,爆破启动时间的一个有用的软件,否则会像抛弃Adobe公司的Photoshop是因为它需要很多时间来装载。

Firefox 3的默认设置

Firefox Themes Firefox的主题

The default theme has been an eyesore in Firefox, but the default theme for Firefox 3 is much improved.默认的主题一直是Firefox的眼中钉,但对Firefox 3的默认主题大为改善。 I would have liked the default theme for Vista to be more professional looking, but since I will not be using Windows Vista for my regular work, it does not really matter.我也喜欢Vista的默认主题将更加专业的作品,但因为我不会用我的正常工作的Windows Vista,它其实并不重要。 Having said that, I am currently trying out Mac-like themes (like话虽如此,我现在想尝试的Mac主题(如, Mac OSX theme Mac OSX的主题 ). )。

Mozilla Firefox的默认主题 One gripe that I have about themes is that most of the better themes are incompatible with Firefox 3.一个抱怨,我对题材的是,更好的主题大多是与Firefox 3兼容。 You can use this您可以使用此 Mozilla Addons search trick Mozilla的扩展搜索技巧 to filter your results and get only Firefox 3-compatible results, though.过滤您的结果并获得唯一的Firefox 3的兼容效果,但。

If you are wondering why the theme from the above screenshot looks slightly different from the default theme on Windows XP (which I'm using), read this post about如果你想知道为什么从上面的截图主题看来有点从基于Windows XP的默认主题不同(我正在使用),请阅读关于这个职位 getting Windows Vista's theme on XP and vice-versa获得Windows Vista的在XP和副主题,反之亦然 .

Extensions扩展

Remarkably for a major new version, most extensions are compatible with Firefox 3.值得注意的一个重要的新版本,大多数扩展兼容Firefox 3的。 Out of my arsenal of ~15 extensions (many of which are disabled usually), only Permatabs, Digg This, FEBE(a backup extension) and Tabgroups do not work.从我武库〜15支(其中许多是残疾人通常情况下),只有PermaTabs的,digg此,FEBE的(备份扩展名)和Tabgroups不起作用。 I could disable addon compatibility checking and use them, but I have decided to wait until they are updated.我可以禁用插件的兼容性检查和使用他们,但我已决定要等到他们被更新。

One eye-catching feature is the “Get Addons” tab in Extensions menu (pictured above), which shows recommended addons.一个引人注目的特点是“获取扩展”的扩展选项卡菜单(图以上),这表明推荐扩展。 The recommendations were quite accurate, and my guess is that Firefox looks at other installed addons to determine what are relevant.这些建议是非常正确的,我的猜测是,在其他安装Firefox的插件,以确定哪些期待有关。

Location bar地址栏

Mozilla Firefox的AwesomeBar
Firefox 3's all new “AwesomeBar”. Firefox 3的所有新的“AwesomeBar”。 Yuck, phoey. 讨厌,phoey。

The new URL bar is unofficially nicknamed “AwesomeBar”, but I would like to call it the “IrritationBar”.新的地址栏是非正式称为“AwesomeBar”,但我想称它为“IrritationBar”。 I like the fact that it is a mini search engine of your history, but when you have been using your browser for 2-3 months, the history can add up.我喜欢的事实,是你的历史小型搜索引擎,但是当你已经用了2-3个月您的浏览器的历史可以加起来。 I would often end up typing entire URLs by hand, because it would take less time than picking the correct URL from the dropdown.我常常最终整个手工输入网址,因为它会比挑选,从下拉正确的URL的时间。 I would have liked it to look at only the titles and URLs of pages that were accessed previously.我也喜欢看只有标题和网页访问的网址是以前。 If you know of a hack to do so, please let me know via a comment on this post.如果你知道黑客攻击的话,请让我通过对这个职位的评论知道。

One-click bookmarks一键式书签

Being the lazy person that I am, I prefer using clicks over typing and cursor-pointing wherever possible.而一向懒惰的人,我,我更喜欢使用对输入和光标点击次数,尽可能指向。 A little white star in the location bar rids me of the need to press Control+D for bookmarks.有一点在地址栏白星肋,需要按Ctrl +Ḏ我的书签。 Simply clicking on the star bookmarks the page, while one more click brings up a small drop-down window with options to edit the bookmark or remove it.只要按一下星号的书签页上,而多一个点击就会弹出一个小的下拉的选项窗口编辑书签或删除它。

Improving JavaScript rendering提高JavaScript的渲染

Improved JavaScript rendering speed is a much-fancied improvement of Firefox 3.改进的JavaScript的渲染速度是非常的Firefox 3的幻想改善。 If you use JavaScript-heavy webpages like GMail, Google Reader and Twitter etc., improvements will be very noticeable.如果您使用JavaScript一样,Gmail,谷歌阅读器和Twitter重网页等,改善将非常明显。

Bye-bye https-highlight, hello security icon再见通过https -突出,你好安全图标

Firefox 2 highlighted the address bar yellow whenever a secure (https) page was accessed. Firefox 2中突出了地址栏黄色每当安全(HTTPS)页面访问。 With Firefox 3, that feature is gone.与Firefox 3,该功能了。 Now, you have a small icon to the left of the address bar, clicking on which brings up a small popup showing secure connection (if any).现在,你有一个到地址栏左侧的小图标,点击它就会弹出一个小弹出窗口,显示安全连接(如果有的话)。 You can also click on a “More information” button to bring up more information like saved passwords and cookies for the site.您也可以点击一个“更多信息”按钮,使更多像保存的密码和站点的cookie信息。

Disappointments with Firefox 3失望与Firefox 3

The only disappointment I found when using Firefox 3 is that bug fixes relating to its memory management is over-hyped.唯一的失望,我发现在使用Firefox 3的是,错误修复与它的内存管理过分夸大。 When Mozilla talked of “15,000″ bug fixes, one would have expected Firefox to be the lean, optimized browser that Opera is (and Firefox 1.5 was).当Mozilla的“15,000”错误修复交谈,人们应该会成为Firefox的精简,优化的浏览器,Opera是(和Firefox 1.5的)。 Fewer crashes and hangups aside, Firefox3 still consumes 130 MB of memory on average (I am using only 6 addons and default theme).更少的崩溃和hangups外,firefox主题仍然平均消耗130 MB的内存(我只用6插件和默认主题)。

One other problem that previous versions of Firefox had was that memory usage would shoot up after leaving it open for a few hours.另外一个问题,以前版本的Firefox已经是内存使用量要拍它离开后几个小时开放。 I have not yet tested memory usage after leaving Firefox 3 on an all-nighter, ie.我还没有进行测试后,留在全通宵,即Firefox 3的内存使用。 leaving Firefox open all night.让火狐通宵营业。 It would be interesting to see if there is any improvement on that front.这将是很有意思,看看是否有任何在这一方面改善。 An all-nighter is a test to see how well Firefox holds up after running continuously for several hours.全通宵是一个测试,看看如何火狐拥有运行后几个小时。

There are lots more when it comes to Firefox 3, but this review only has features and problems that I thought were the most important.还有很多更当谈到火狐3,但是这一审查只有特点和问题,我认为是最重要的。 Over to you, what are your opinions with regard to the improvements in Firefox 3?交给你,你的意见是什么就在Firefox 3的改进? Have you noticed any improvements in memory usage after an all-nighter with Firefox?你注意到所有后与火狐通宵在内存使用任何改进?

    The problem with the address bar is that after using it for a long time, an irrelevant long list of URLs appear when you start typing an address.与地址栏的问题是,使用后很长一段时间,一个毫不相干的一长串的网址是启动时出现输入地址。 This in effect forces you to type the complete URL yourself.这实际上迫使你输入自己的完整的URL。
