I think that bar far, the most innovative feature here is the live titles feature. I’m looking forward to seeing live graphic titles, AKA “graphical microsummaries” in Firefox 3 (http://wiki.mozilla.org/GraphicalMicrosummaries). Imagine a live graphic, like a bar graph or a pie chart. That would really be great. The problem with live titles is that they are so hard to explain. To help explain live titles to new users (and show them how to add them to Firefox), I created a short video tutorial here: http://usefulvideo.blogspot.com/2007/02/little-known-firefox-feature-live.html

What's this?
