What's Coming in Firefox 3

clipper's remarks: There's plenty more coming listed at the article source, and I'm sure there will be many changes before even an alpha materializes, but it's interesting to see what the general direction is.

In today’s Firefox 3 (code name Gran Paradiso) meeting, developers released a preliminary list of requirements for Firefox 3. The new target release date is sometime in the third quarter this year.

Among the list of mandatory requirements, read, what is the most likely to be included in Firefox 3 we have:

A much needed print support to prevent cut paragraphs and true WYSIWYG.

The much requested MSI installer which will be a much welcomed improvement for IT administrators as it will ease deployment and updating of Firefox across a company.

A private web browsing mode. I guess this would mean no cache, history, password or entered form information storage.

Microformats support.

Files could be handled by web services. If I am reading this correctly, this could mean you would be able to click on an attached document and open it with something like Writely or Google Documents. And perhaps, as I asked Santa, the ability to redirect mailto: links to web email services.
