Firefox 3 was a radical departure from Firefox 1 and 2, neither of these versions had a native look and feel on the Mac, but nevertheless were a better browser than the native Safari. Firefox 3 introduced native look and feel but, I had numerous issues with it, and preferred Safari for a while. (e.g. the slow browsing on long webpages, I wrote about earlier).

Now finally, Firefox 3.1 b2, not only has a more sleeker Mac-like interface, it also supports the multi touch features of the new macbook/pros. This makes Firefox for me, a more favored browser compared to other browsers in the Mac.

Mozilla Ubiquity is a very impressive new project form Mozilla. It will be an extension to firefox, which allows you to easily create mashups using common natural language. Once released its impact I presume could be massive in extending Firefox's lead in the Browser war.

For now I'm sure its something only geeks would use, until Microsoft copies it into IE9.

Just watch a demo here:
