Live-blogging from Mozillla press meeting
Wednesday, March 26, 2008 by Dave Winer.
If you have questions for the people at Mozilla, post a comment and I'll try to ask it. 
About 1/2 hour into the meeting I don't really have any overall idea of what they're doing with Firefox 3. I know other people are using it, I'm still using v2. I tried v3 beta but found that it was too awkward a transition. (Wish I remember what it was that was so awkward.)
"Better faster safer" -- the slogan for Firefox 3.
They put up some screen shots and I recalled clearly what the problem was -- they moved the Home button.
They call the new address bar The Awesome Bar, which is very Steve Jobs-like in my humble opinion. Boom!

They're talking about Weave...

I believe this is Asa Dotzler world-famous Mozilla blogger.
