There’s a spiffy article about the new Firefox beta at computerworld.com.

Before I get into it, I will say, after a recent experience working in an environment where all Web work was done using IE 6 with most of it being research, Firefox could go back a version or two and it would STILL rock!

I noticed the article’s author seemed concerned that FF would become top-heavy with new features that are currently available as add-ons. Well, as an enthusiastic but not overly technical FF user, I have to say I’m not worried. It may make me a traitor to the Mozilla movement, but I hate FF add-ons. I hate that little pop-up bar asking if I want to update every third time I open the application, and I am hesitant to use them because the ones I had for Thunderbird worked out SO well (that plinking noise? that was the sarcasm dripping…).

More details, in a little easier to understand format, can be found in the InternetNews.com article about the original beta release from November.

Check it out for yourself and let us know what you think.
