so today Mozilla China ( http://www.mozillaonline.com/ ) has released its official China Edition of Firefox, called "g-fox".

http://g-fox.cn/

http://g-fox.cn/productnew.html

and the website is promptly hammered down by high traffic it seems :laugh:

from the descriptions, it has built-in some features more frequently used by Chinese users, like "close tab by double click", "text drag-n-drop to search", "zoom panel", a right sidebar called "Live Margins", etc. etc.

With Firefox releasing its China Edition, and Opera expected to release its China Edition sometime soon, it seems China is going to be the new focus of the browser war. :laugh:

Ok, so G-Fox is just the China mascot.

The product is still Firefox.

Thought they renamed the browser for China.

Double-clicking a tab to close it, drag-and-drop text to do a search. Are these already stock features in Firefox 3.0.4?

- double-clicking a tab doesn't close it

- drag-and-drop text to do a search works

this is nice since my parents aren't very English literate.

Hope the memory usage stays on par with the current English version.

:huh:

In Japanese 'l'='r', not in Chinese. So Firefox = Filefox in Japanese, thus Filefox is the Japanese Edition, not the China Edition :laugh:
