Firefox 3.1 Beta disappoints

I was really happy while writing for the last post. Mozilla launching it's 3.1 beta just after IE 8 was fun. I was looking forward for more features and better pre-installed plug-ins. But I must say that Firefox 3.1 Beta disappoints on all fronts. First of all let me tell you about the new features that firefox 3.1 offers. It's the special character search function (developers, you really think people were waiting for such a feature?? complete waste of time folks). Now you can search your browsing history and bookmarks using special characters such as *,^,+ etc.
Not all that interesting, but please give it a try... You may like it. And make firefox people more hopeful. They have already blabbered a lot about this feature on their website. If you want to read all that please follow the link

Now you can open a new window from a existing tab just by dragging it outside the new tab region. This makes it comfortable to organize your browser tabs and windows if you are googling something :)
And now even firefox has got a private browsing environment but it is not as interesting as the IE 8 InPrivate.
Some of the other features are that it uses less space on the hard disk and comes with all new javascript and activeX content plug in.

And for all this Firefox is registering developers to test its new product. That way even I have updated my portfolio website. Beta testers required :) please check it out. comments and suggestions are welcome....
