Change Log.
Firefox 3 is based on the Gecko 1.9 Web rendering platform, which has been under development for the past 32 months. Building on the previous release, Gecko 1.9 has more than 12,000 updates including some major re-architecting to provide improved performance, stability, rendering correctness, and code simplification and sustainability. Firefox 3 has been built on top of this new platform resulting in a more secure, easier to use, more personal product with a lot more under the hood to offer website and Firefox add-on developers.
Improved in Beta 5
Firefox 3 Beta 5 includes more than 750 changes from the previous beta, improving stability and web compatibility, providing platform and user interface enhancements, and resulting in the fastest Firefox ever. Many of these improvements were based on community feedback from the previous beta.
- More Secure
-
- One-click site info: Click the site favicon in the location bar to see who owns the site and to check if your connection is protected from eavesdropping. Identity verification is prominently displayed and easier to understand. When a site uses Extended Validation (EV) SSL certificates, the site favicon button will turn green and show the name of the company you're connected to. (Try it here!)
- Malware Protection: malware protection warns users when they arrive at sites which are known to install viruses, spyware, trojans or other malware. (Try it here!)
- New Web Forgery Protection page: the content of pages suspected as web forgeries is no longer shown. (Try it here!)
- New SSL error pages: clearer and stricter error pages are used when Firefox encounters an invalid SSL certificate. (Try it here!)
- Add-ons and Plugin version check: Firefox now automatically checks add-on and plugin versions and will disable older, insecure versions.
- Secure add-on updates: to improve add-on update security, add-ons that provide updates in an insecure manner will be disabled.
- Anti-virus integration: Firefox will inform anti-virus software when downloading executables.
- Vista Parental Controls: Firefox now respects the Vista system-wide parental control setting for disabling file downloads.
- Effective top-level domain (eTLD) service better restricts cookies and other restricted content to a single domain.
- Better protection against cross-site JSON data leaks.
- Easier to Use
-
- Easier password management: an information bar replaces the old password dialog so you can now save passwords after a successful login.
- Simplified add-on installation: the add-ons whitelist has been removed making it possible to install extensions from third-party sites in fewer clicks.
- New Download Manager: the revised download manager makes it much easier to locate downloaded files, and you can see and search on the name of the website where a file came from. Your active downloads and time remaining are always shown in the status bar as your files download.
- Resumable downloading: users can now resume downloads after restarting the browser or resetting your network connection.
- Full page zoom: from the View menu and via keyboard shortcuts, the new zooming feature lets you zoom in and out of entire pages, scaling the layout, text and images, or optionally only the text size. Your settings will be remembered whenever you return to the site.
- Podcasts and Videocasts can be associated with your media playback tools.
- Tab scrolling and quickmenu: tabs are easier to locate with the new tab scrolling and tab quickmenu.
- Save what you were doing: Firefox will prompt users to save tabs on exit.
- Optimized Open in Tabs behavior: opening a folder of bookmarks in tabs now appends the new tabs rather than overwriting.
- Location and Search bar size can now be customized with a simple resizer item.
- Text selection improvements: multiple text selections can be made with Ctrl/Cmd; double-click drag selects in "word-by-word" mode; triple-clicking selects a paragraph.
- Find toolbar: the Find toolbar now opens with the current selection.
- Plugin management: users can disable individual plugins in the Add-on Manager.
- Improved in Beta 5-Integration with Windows: Firefox now has improved Windows icons, and uses native user interface widgets in the browser and in web forms.
- Improved in Beta 5 -Integration with the Mac: the new Firefox theme makes toolbars, icons, and other user interface elements look like a native OS X application. Firefox also uses OS X widgets and supports Growl for notifications of completed downloads and available updates. A combined back and forward control make it even easier to move between web pages.
- Improved in Beta 5- Integration with Linux: Firefox's default icons, buttons, and menu styles now use the native GTK theme.
- More Personal
-
- Star button: quickly add bookmarks from the location bar with a single click; a second click lets you file and tag them.
- Tags: associate keywords with your bookmarks to sort them by topic.
- Location bar & auto-complete: type in all or part of the title, tag or address of a page to see a list of matches from your history and bookmarks; a new display makes it easier to scan through the matching results and find that page you're looking for. Results are returned according to their frecency (a combination of frequency and recency of visits to that page) ensuring that you're seeing the most relevant matches. An adaptive learning algorithm further tunes the results to your patterns!
- Smart Bookmarks Folder: quickly access your recently bookmarked and tagged pages, as well as your more frequently visited pages with the new smart bookmarks folder on your bookmark toolbar.
- Improved in Beta 5 - Places Organizer: view, organize and search through all of your bookmarks, tags, and browsing history with multiple views and smart folders to store your frequent searches. Create and restore full backups whenever you want.
- Web-based protocol handlers: web applications, such as your favorite webmail provider, can now be used instead of desktop applications for handling mailto: links from other sites. Similar support is available for other protocols (Web applications will have to first enable this by registering as handlers with Firefox).
- Download & Install Add-ons: the Add-ons Manager (Tools > Add-ons) can now be used to download and install a Firefox customization from the thousands of Add-ons available from our community add-ons website. When you first open the Add-ons Manager, a list of recommended Add-ons is shown.
- Easy to use Download Actions: a new Applications preferences pane provides a better UI for configuring handlers for various file types and protocol schemes.
- Improved Platform for Developers
-
- New graphics and font handling: new graphics and text rendering architectures in Gecko 1.9 provides rendering improvements in CSS, SVG as well as improved display of fonts with ligatures and complex scripts.
- Color management: (set gfx.color_management.enabled on in about:config and restart the browser to enable.) Firefox can now adjust images with embedded color profiles.
- Offline support: enables web applications to provide offline functionality (website authors must add support for offline browsing to their site for this feature to be available to users).
- A more complete overview of Firefox 3 for developers is available for website and add-on developers.
- Improved Performance
-
- Improved in Beta 5- Speed: improvements to our JavaScript engine as well as profile guided optimizations have resulted in continued improvements in performance. Compared to Firefox 2, web applications like Google Mail and Zoho Office run twice as fast in Firefox 3 Beta 5, and the popular SunSpider test from Apple shows improvements over previous releases.
- Memory usage: Several new technologies work together to reduce the amount of memory used by Firefox 3 over a web browsing session. Memory cycles are broken and collected by an automated cycle collector, a new memory allocator reduces fragmentation, hundreds of leaks have been fixed, and caching strategies have been tuned.
- Reliability: A user's bookmarks, history, cookies, and preferences are now stored in a transactionally secure database format which will prevent data loss even if their system crashes.
- Update On Firefox 3 Release Candidate 1 : Firefox 3 Release Candidate 1 (Final Version Soon To Be Release)[Dated:19.05.08]
How To Convert RMVB to AVI
How do I convert RMVB files to AVI or DVD?
RMVB files are great for online downloads, but they aren't widely compatible with all available media players. Converting these RealMedia Variable Bitrate files currently requires either purchasing a video converter or hacking together an AVISynth script for VirtualDubMod, which starts getting a little geeky. Below I provide both conversion options, with a link to software that gracefully handles the easy route and step-by-step instructions for converting RMVB files using VirtualDubMod.
Convert RMVB with RM Converter
Convert RMVB with RM Converter
The simplest method for converting RMVB files, or an RealMedia file is to use Xilisoft RM Converter. For $29, you simply configure a few settings and RM Converter will convert the RMVB file to a format of your choosing, including AVI, WMV, MPEG or DivX. If you have a bunch of RMVB files to convert, there's a batch processing option and the output files are easily imported into any DVD authoring tool to burn to DVD.
Convert RMVB with VirtualDub
There is a second more complicated way to convert your RMVB files. VirtualDubMod, which supports AVISynth scripts and MPEG-2 video importing, is an alternative method for converting RMVB files to a format suitable for DVD. To effectively convert the files, you need a specific set of tools and you need to perform all steps in the correct order.
Required Software:
VirtualDubMod
AVIsynth
Real Alternative
For this method of conversion, the official RealPlayer won't help, because it's missing a component only found in Real Alternative.
Download each of the applications. VirtualDubMod doesn't actually install anywhere. It is self contained. As of this writing the most current version is 1.5.10.2. Get the latest version of the software. After downloading and unzipping VirtualDubMod, download the latest version of AVIsynth 2.5 and install it in the default location. The final part of the install process is to download and install Real Alternative. If you have RealPlayer installed on your system, ignore the part about uninstalling it, you don't need to uninstall anything to get Real Alternative to work. Make sure the option next to RealMedia DirectShow Splitter is checked. You need this for the RMVB conversion process.
After you get all your applications installed, you need to create a couple of AVIsynth scripts. These are simple text files telling VirtualDubMod how to work with your RMVB format file. By creating these two script files, you have access to the scripts automatically anytime you want to covert a new RMVB file.
Notepad will work to create the scripts.
For the first file, copy these two lines of text into your text editor:
#ASYNTHER RMVB 23.976fps
DirectShowSource("%f", fps=23.976, convertfps=true)
Save your file as something meaningful like RMVB2376 with the file extension .avst in the VirtualDubMod template folder. This gives you access to the script from within the VirtualDubMod interface.
The first line is a comment that tells VirtualDubMod that you are calling AVIsynth to process your RMVB file with a script for RMVB files at approximately 24fps.
The second line tells AVIsynth the source is DirectShow to be played at 23.976 frames per second. %f tells AVIsynth to use the file you select in VirtualDubMod's Open dialog box. The convertfps=true tells AVIsynth to convert the video at whatever it's current frame rate is to 23.976fps. You want that last line in there because people encode video at wild framerates that don't match either the 24fps or 30fps standards.
Open another blank text file and paste in these two lines of code:
#ASYNTHER RMVB 29.97fps
DirectShowSource("%f", fps=29.97, convertfps=true)
Save this file with a different name like RMVB2997.avst in the VirtualDubMod template folder.
Again the first line is a comment so you know which script to select in the drop down menu. The second line tells AVIsynth to convert the video to 29.97fps.
With the scripts in the template folder, you are now ready to convert your RMVB file.
Open VirtualDubMod. From the file menu, choose Open Video File.
At the bottom of the open dialog box, choose the RMVB option most closely matching the actual frame rate of your RMVB file. If the RMVB file is 24fps, choose 23.97. If the RMVB file is 30fps, choose 29.97. Switch the Files of type dropdown to All files to locate your RMVB file. Select the RMVB file and click OK.
Assuming you followed all previous steps, your RMVB file will now be open in VirtualDubMod. If you need to edit the file, you can trim sections of it, or you can simple save the file to a different format.
To save the file select Save As from the file menu. Depending on what you want to do with the file later, your choice of file formats may vary. If you simply want a file you can playback on any computer, many portable devices or potentially burn to DVD, converting the file with a DivX compatible codec may be an option because it keeps the file size small while still making the file more manageable than the rather obscure RMVB format. To go straight to DVD, I recommend saving out to AVI first with the default codec and then authoring the DVD, which means simply using the default settings.
You can achieve much smaller file sizes using the XviD and DivX MPEG-4 container formats. The XviD codec is installed during the Real Alternative install. By clicking the Change button, you can select a different video compression option. Choose XviD and click OK.
Now on the main Save As screen the Compression shows as XviD instead of (Uncompress RGB).
After choosing a format to save your video, click the Save button to start the transfer process. When you finish transferring the video, use the AVI file in any DVD authoring application to create a DVD.
