Mozilla released firefox, Deer Park Alpha 1 with a slew of support for the latest & greatest.
What Web dev features in Deer Park Alpha 1 are you looking most forward to?
Some portions that I look forward to include, but are not limited to:
- The outline property – “Outlines may be non-rectangular” – how sweet is that?
- Multi-column layout – (of course, we all want this)
- (continued) Support of basic css3 selectors
- overflow-x and overflow-y properties
Unfortunately, as we continue to develop for IE on both the mac & pc, these techniques will continue to go unused. Who else wants a simple input[type="radio"] to work cross-browser? In preperation for the day these sweet joints can be utilized freely, let’s celebrate and declare classes that cleary overwrite our css3 selectors!!
Are you using the Deer Park release of Firefox yet? Have you read through the latest supported features? What’s YOUR future favorites?

Haven’t bothered with the latest build since everytime Firefox updates plugins tend to break and we have to wait for plugin updates as well.
With all its glory and support for standards it looks like the final release will be a good one but the fact is we do and NEED to develop for IE (at least the Windows version) in which barely supports CSS1 correctly let alone CSS3. Considering this, and considering the majority still use and choose IE as their main browser… Firefox support for CSS3 is more of an awe factor at the moment.
Have we reached the days of multiple choice? Click here for Firefox version, Click here if you are still using one of those poopy browsers…
At most, we have a practice area.
Personally, I haven’t learned all I need to with CSS2 so I will be concentrating on that, and using it practically across the internet along with CSS1, rather than jumping to the playing field of version 3.
The future indeed looks bright.

Current firefox supports a limited pause & resume feature in the download manager. Looks like they made it a feature requirement for Firefox 2.0.

Google has launched Google Sitemaps. It seems to be a service that allows webmasters to define how often their sites’ content is going to change, to give Google a better idea of what to index. It uses some basic XML as the method of submitting a sitemap.
