So the internet is all abuzz with the news of the latest Firefox release, officially titled "Firefox Preview Release".
As previsouly mentioned this release contains some nifty built in RSS aggregation features. They've made some tweaks since I last played with it, making the livemarks show up as a different color bookmark, and moving the 'Subscribe to this site' button show up in the bottom right corner, rather than bottom left. However, there still seems to be no update notification or polling-interval settings available. Bummer.
Oh yeah, the other cool new feature that I love: color-coded URL bar based on http vs. https protocol. I know most browsers will alway show a little lock in one corner or another, but this is just a huge, in your face, can't miss it, "you're secure" notification that you don't even have to look for. I actually got all paranoid the other day when using an old .9 release instead of the nightly, thought my https server was all hosed up, since the URL bar was white. Never going back.
