Mozilla is working on software that will enable you to access online applications even when you're not connected to the internet. Any changes will then be synced and uploaded when the browser is reconnected.
Firefox is the second most popular web browser after Microsoft's Internet Explorer . A number of alpha versions of Firefox 3 have already been released but these do not include the most exciting new additions.
Mozilla hasn't set a shipping date for the next version of Firefox, aside from a broad autumn timeframe. "We do not want to ship crap on time. We want to ship good software when it is ready to be shipped," Tristan Nitot, president of Mozilla Europe, said .
