Mozilla released Firefox 3.1 Beta 2 on Monday with many new features such as the anticipated private browsing mode, a new Tracemonkey javascript engine and new functions that make it easy to remove specific portions of Web history.
The private browsing mode helps users to surf the Web without leaving a trace so that when your colleague sits on your computer, he or she will not be able to view browsing history. If your browse normally, you would have to keep deleting your history when you’re away. However, sometimes you may be forgetful. Do note that this useful tool isn’t like a free proxy site which enables you to surf blocked sites by your ISPs.
According to Mozilla, the Firefox 3.1 Beta 2 “is a public preview release intended for developer testing and community feedback”. Other features and changes include support for video and audio built into webpage, support for web worker treads, removed the new tab-switching and preview behaviour based on feedback from Beta 1 users.

Powered by flash, SnapPages is a perfect platform that enables users to create professional web pages, share your photos, keep track of your upcoming events and socialize with your friends using its easy-to-use drag-and-drop interface.
This platform benefits those who wants to start a business, organization, etc. as most of them need to have a web page to sell their products or services. However, the problem is that not all of them are web designers or have any HTML knowledge.
SnapPages provides users with more than 10 quality customizable themes whereby you can change the colors, styles, text, logo, graphics, fills and image of your theme. SnapPages’ Photo Manager lets you organize, tag, share and it even acts as a photo editor which allows you to adjust the brightness or contrast of your screenshots and personal photos. To add more liveliness, you can embed a slideshow of your photo album in your website.
For those who are currently using or love Google Calendar, you can try out the Calendar manager. To add an event, simply click on a particular date and add in the details. If you accidentally insert an event on the incorrect date, SnapPages has a feature which lets you drag and drop the event to another date. Hence, you need not to delete the wrong one and add another event. What I love about this Caldendar manager is the cool interface when selecting the time.
I pretty love the Friends manager as you can socialize and communicate with your friends in “Gabs” form. Under the “The Exchange” tab, it allows you to share all your favorite things with your friends. Categories include books, finance, games, movies, music, sports, tech, travel and many more! Share you personal information such as your hobbies and interests with your friends by creating a profile. Add a photo of yourself so that at least they know what you look like.
If you’re using Google Analytics to track your details of your website traffic, view them on SnapPages by entering your account number under the website settings option.
SnapPages comes in both free and premium services. There will be more features such as unlimited pages, more storage space custom domain name, SEO settings, etc. when you sign up for the premium service which costs only $50 per year. So why not start trying SnapPages today?
*Note that all those features which I’ve mentioned above may differ from the free service as I’m currently using the Premium version.
