We’re happy to announce that our second alpha release of Fennec has come together. While we focused much of the previous alpha on getting the user experience how we wanted, we’ve spent much of the time since focused on improving performance. We’ve made major strides improving startup performance, panning and zooming performance, and responsiveness while pages are loading.
We’ve re-factored a significant amount of the front end code resulting in substantial speed improvements as well providing a much better base for extension authors to build upon.

All the options Firefox should have included in the first place.

Veronica shares a tip on a Firefox add-on that will allow you to abandon that about:config page forever.

The Mozilla Blog reports

, "We've launched a new video section on mozilla.com

to help bring some of the many great features of Firefox alive. The feature-specific videos are narrated by the people who helped bring them to Firefox. The new video section even includes a walk through on how to install Firefox -- perfect to help people make the switch." The videos currently include: Firefox 3 overview, How to switch to Firefox with Asa Dotzler, Security features in Firefox 3 with Johnathan Nightingale, Bookmarks and tags with Alex Faaborg, and the Awesomebar with Seth Spitzer.

Just in case one of your 2009’s resolutions is to get a new Firefox theme, here’s a suggestion: SKY. Created by Andrew Shay, it gives your web browsing a fresh, glassy look you may enjoy.

A plus! version is already in the works (for 3.1 betas only at this time) that adds a glossy toolbar background.

You can get SKY from Mozilla Add-ons.
