Bookmark management improved

Bookmark tagging

The bookmark manager has been improved with the ability to tag specific pages for better organization.

Add on manager

The add on manager is a nice touch and can save you a few clicks with disable and uninstall options readily available.

DOM inspector

Web forgery?

Firefox 3 has added some security enhancements to find Web forgeries and prevent phishing attacks.

Malware warning
