Mozilla has said its latest web browser version of Firefox would make changes to the way people conduct their online searches.
Firefox 3, which is still going through its third stage of beta testing, will combine searching and bookmarking features through the URL bar as well as offline working.
If a user wanted to search for magnets for example by typing it into the URL bar, a list of sites previously visited by the user would show up and offline working would allow users to retrieve pertinent data once an internet connection was lost.
Mitchell Baker, chairman of the Mozilla Foundation, told BBC World Service’s Digital Planet programme: “In terms of features, we’ve tried very hard not to bloat the interface but to keep it simple, the way people like it, and to have new things appear when you need them.”
Firefox is currently the second most popular browser with 12 per cent of the sector, while Microsoft’s Internet Explorer remains number one.
