Some weeks ago I told you about a nice hack on how to try the new, faster than ever, Firefox, or at least its features! Read this article to know more. However, if you really can’t wait to try out the read thing, I have got a couple of links which maybe will interest you…a lot. Ths new Firefox  is out, or at least one of its earlier versions. What I am talking about is the new Firefox browser which, with its next release, will reach version 3.7. What you will download from this article is an alpha release which, as you know, it is not stable and its only meant for developers. However, it will give you a pretty good idea of what it will be like surfing the Internet in the future!

Here is a brief list of Firefox 3.7 alpha 3 key features:

Embracing Glass: Toolbar and Tabs using Glass. Buttons translucent and slightly glossy to meld with the toolbar. Raised 3D lookachieve tactile “feel”.

Page Button: Connect the Page button to the left side of the tab area. Directly connected to the Page.

Tools/Bookmark Bar: Connecting the Tools button to the side of the window to emphasize the fact that it is used for customizing and changing the UI. Adding a button next to that to toggle the Bookmarks bar which is turned off by default.

If you want to have a better insight of the new Firefox features, have a look at these release notes, posted on Mozilla.org.
