Envious of your friend using cool mouse gestures in Opera ? No problem. With the power of add-ons in Mozilla Firefox you can add almost any feature to Firefox.
Fire Gestures is one such add-on which adds mouse gestures to Mozilla Firefox.
A simple mouse movement opens a new tab, another one closes tab and more …. You have to use it to get addicted to it.

Microsoft has released the Beta 1 of Internet Explorer 8 and put up a dedicated page for Internet Explorer 8 Beta.
The IE 8 Beta 1 page lists out the new features which will be available in Internet Explorer 8 along with download links to Internet Explorer 8 Beta 1.
The new features in Internet Explorer 8 are :
That’s it. No more new features. Sadly, I don’t find any feature above exciting enough for me to be waiting for Internet Explorer 8. Neither do I find any new UI for Internet Explorer 8 from the screenhots on the page. 
Hopefully MS will add more features on the way and also give a new UI to Internet Explorer 8. If not Mozilla Firefox 3Â will be THE browser for me. Anywayz it is even now. 
Internet Explorer 8 New Features
Download Internet Explorer 8 Beta 1 for Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008Â

Internet Explorer 8 Beta 1 Download Page
Update : Mozilla Links has put up a review of Internet Explorer 8 Beta 1 and compared it to the Firefox 3 Beta which is under development now. A post worth reading….

Just noticed this. The latest Firefox 3 Beta ( at present Beta 3 RC ) is now available in the Ubuntu Gutsy Repositories. The Ubuntu guys had not updated the Firefox 3 Alpha in the repositories for a long time, but now it is done.
After installing, goto Applications —> Internet —> Firefox 3 Web Browser.
The Firefox 3 Beta will not replace your existing stable install of Firefox 2. So don’t worry. 
All your Firefox 2 settings and add-ons will remain intact.
