Firefox 2: Client-side storage and a lot more

Firefox Bon Echo Alpha 3 just came out into the wild. This gives us a glimpse into new features that we will be getting.

The big item is Client-side session and persistent storage meaning that we will be able to use JavaScript to:

sessionStorage.setItem(..)

and

globalStorage.namedItem(domain).setItem(..)

There are also other nice features such as microsummary support, anti-phishing, and inline spellchecking.
