Gran Paradiso Messaging

Posted by chris on Mon, 06/18/2007 - 06:04Communications

A first pass at the messaging framework, with proposed taglines and messages for various audiences will be ready to share soon. Ahead of that, we wanted to post an early version of what Gran Paradiso might mean to general consumers.

Please do let us know what you think. Remember, we’re not trying to describe all of Firefox and its capabilities, only the major features that we felt will be compelling to this group of people.

In this pass, we're also presuming people are already familiar with tabbed browsing, pop-up blocking, industry-leading security, add-ons, etc.

    Gran Paradiso will allow you to:

    • Make bookmarks useful again
    • Stay safer with new spyware protection
    • Use webmail when you’re not online
    • Open and edit virtually any document
    • Easily transfer events and contacts to your calendar and address book

What about Cairo?

All those are small, minor changes. The big change is Gecko 1.9 and Cairo.

So what about Cairo? Do we have any speed tests related to that? Is the Firefox 3 faster than previous? Does it require less memory? Do we already have some new features related to it, or does it just give the extension developers new advantages?

Could be misleading
Submitted by Percy Cabello on Mon, 06/18/2007 - 18:25.

I think it's unfortunately misleading. A user could think that somehow Firefox will make Hotmail work while offline which is not the case.

But mentioning specific providers like  "use Gmail and Yahoo! Mail offline" could lead to think it's a feature of the provider alone.

Something similar happens with microformats and web content handlers: Firefox is just half the equation
