Now that the much awaited現在,期待已久 Mozilla Firefox 3 has been released Mozilla Firefox的3已被釋放 , it is time for a review. ,是時候檢討。 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.我相信其他人則有火狐已經審查,但我覺得我需要花更多的時間與'狐狸前書面檢討。
Let me just start off by saying that I am totally loving Firefox 3.讓我開端說,我完全愛火狐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).它在許多方面,Firefox 2的是什麼意思是,但沒有-更快的反應時間,更低的內存使用和更少的崩潰(我還沒有的話)。 Of course, there still remains work to do, and Firefox 3 hasn't improved much by way of startup times.當然,仍有工作要做,和Firefox 3沒有多大改善的方式啟動時間。 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.當然,爆破其他有用的軟件啟動時間將會像拋棄Adobe公司的Photoshop是因為它需要很多時間來加載了。

Firefox Themes Firefox的主題
The default theme has been an eyesore in Firefox, but the default theme for Firefox 3 is much improved.默認的主題一直是在Firefox肉中刺,但默認主題為Firefox 3大為改善。 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.我也喜歡Vista的默認的主題將更加專業的作品,但因為我不會使用Windows Vista的我的正常工作,其實並不重要。 Having said that, I am currently trying out Mac-like themes (like話雖如此,我目前嘗試的Mac類似主題(如 Mac OSX theme Mac OSX的主題 ). )。
One gripe that I have about themes is that most of the better themes are incompatible with Firefox 3.一個抱怨,我對主題是,最重要的主題,更不符合火狐3。 You can use this您可以使用此 Mozilla Addons search trick Mozilla的擴展搜索技巧 to filter your results and get only Firefox 3-compatible results, though.過濾您的結果並獲得唯一的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如果你想知道為什麼從上述主題的屏幕看起來有些不同的默認主題在Windows XP(我正在使用),請閱讀關於這個職位 getting Windows Vista's theme on XP and vice-versa獲得Windows Vista的主題,在XP中,反之亦然 . 。
Extensions擴展
Remarkably for a major new version, most extensions are compatible with Firefox 3.值得注意的一個重要的新版本,大多數擴展兼容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.從我武庫〜15支(其中許多是殘疾人通常情況下),只有PermaTabs的,digg此,FEBE的(備份擴展名)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檢查和使用他們,但我已決定要等到他們被更新。

Firefox 3 recommended extensions tab Firefox 3的建議擴展卡
One eye-catching feature is the “Get Addons” tab in Extensions menu (pictured above), which shows recommended addons.一個引人注目的特點是“獲取擴展”選項卡擴展菜單(圖以上),這表明推薦擴展。 The recommendations were quite accurate, and my guess is that Firefox looks at other installed addons to determine what are relevant.這些建議是非常正確的,我的猜測是Firefox著眼於其他已安裝的插件,以確定哪些是有關的。
Location bar地址欄

Firefox 3's all new “AwesomeBar”. Firefox 3的所有新的“AwesomeBar”。 Yuck, phoey. 討厭,phoey。
The new URL bar is unofficially nicknamed “AwesomeBar”, but I would like to call it the “IrritationBar”.新的地址欄是非正式稱為“AwesomeBar”,但我想稱它為“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.我喜歡這一事實,它是一個小型的搜索引擎,你的歷史,但是當你自己使用的瀏覽器為2-3個月,歷史最多可以添加。 I would often end up typing entire URLs by hand, because it would take less time than picking the correct URL from the dropdown.我常常最終輸入整個網址的手,因為這將花費更少的時間比挑選正確的網址,從下拉。 I would have liked it to look at only the titles and URLs of pages that were accessed previously.我也喜歡看只有標題和網址的網頁,其原先的訪問。 If you know of a hack to do so, please let me know via a comment on this post.如果你知道黑客攻擊的話,請讓我知道通過評論這個職位。
One-click bookmarks一鍵式書籤
Being the lazy person that I am, I prefer using clicks over typing and cursor-pointing wherever possible.而一向懶惰的人,我,我更喜歡使用點擊次數超過打字和游標指向盡可能。 A little white star in the location bar rids me of the need to press Control+D for bookmarks.有一點白星在地址欄肋我,需要按Ctrl + D的書籤。 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.只需單擊星書籤的頁面,而多一個點擊就會彈出一個小的下拉窗口,選擇編輯書籤或刪除它。
Improving JavaScript rendering提高JavaScript的渲染
Improved JavaScript rendering speed is a much-fancied improvement of Firefox 3.改進的JavaScript的渲染速度是一個大熱門Firefox 3的改進。 If you use JavaScript-heavy webpages like GMail, Google Reader and Twitter etc., improvements will be very noticeable.如果您使用JavaScript為主的網頁例如GMail,谷歌閱讀器和Twitter等,改善將非常明顯。
Bye-bye https-highlight, hello security icon再見通過https -突出,你好安全圖標
Firefox 2 highlighted the address bar yellow whenever a secure (https) page was accessed. Firefox 2中突出了地址欄黃色每當安全(HTTPS)頁面訪問。 With Firefox 3, that feature is gone.與Firefox 3,該功能了。 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).現在,你有一個小圖標,左邊的地址欄,點擊上就會彈出一個小彈出窗口,顯示安全連接(如果有的話)。 You can also click on a “More information” button to bring up more information like saved passwords and cookies for the site.您也可以點擊一個“更多信息”按鈕,造就更多信息,如保存的密碼和cookie的網站。
Disappointments with Firefox 3失望與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,我發現在使用Firefox 3的是,錯誤修復與它的內存管理過分誇大。 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).當談到Mozilla的“15000”錯誤修復,人們應該會成為Firefox的精簡,優化的瀏覽器,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).更少的崩潰和hangups外,firefox主題仍然消耗130 MB內存,平均(我只用6插件和默認主題)。
One other problem that previous versions of Firefox had was that memory usage would shoot up after leaving it open for a few hours.另外一個問題,以前版本的Firefox的問題時,是內存使用量將會暴漲後,任由幾個小時。 I have not yet tested memory usage after leaving Firefox 3 on an all-nighter, ie.我還沒有測試的內存使用Firefox 3的離開對全通宵,即。 leaving Firefox open all night.讓火狐通宵營業。 It would be interesting to see if there is any improvement on that front.這將是很有意思,看看是否有任何改善,在這一方面。 An all-nighter is a test to see how well Firefox holds up after running continuously for several hours.全通宵是一個測試,看看如何火狐擁有運行後連續幾個小時。
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.還有很多更當談到火狐3,但是這一審查只有特點和問題,我認為是最重要的。 Over to you, what are your opinions with regard to the improvements in Firefox 3?交給你,什麼是您的意見,關於改善在Firefox 3? Have you noticed any improvements in memory usage after an all-nighter with Firefox?你注意到任何改善內存使用後,全通宵使用Firefox?

Binny,賓尼公司,
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.這個問題的地址欄是用後很長一段時間,一個無關緊要的名單時出現的網址您開始鍵入一個地址。 This in effect forces you to type the complete URL yourself.這實際上迫使你輸入自己的完整的URL。
