Firefox 3 Beta 2: The Giant Robot Edition

Robots are awesome. Giant Robots are awesomer.

It's Firefox... RUN towards it!

Seriously, though. Are we supposed to be afraid of the huge building destroying robot? What does the city signify, IE users? And what’s the deal with the UFO’s in the background?

Am I reading too much into it? Highly likely. But it’s much more snappier. MUCH more snappier. John Resig thinks so.

And snazzier too… one example is when Firefox asks you if it should remember your password. No longer is it a separate dialog box which would disrupt the flow between pages, but instead it’s a much more muted slidedown-style dialog row of text. I don’t know what you call it, but it’s awesome. I’m pretty sure this was done before in IE (Insistent IE ActiveX warnings and others), but it’s a welcomed changed here.

And something with the text… is it anti-aliased? It just feels more softer than usual. I guess I should consult the changelogs.
