With the release of Firefox 3 imminent, the Firefox team is developing already some innovative ideas for Firefox 4, including a new feature called "Prism," that would allow users to run Web-based content offline and "Weave.", an option that would create a set of online preferences and settings for each user instead of each computer.
Firefox 4 Features Details Although Firefox 3 is still in research and development, Mozilla is already working on new features for the fourth version of its increasingly popular Web browser.
One of the new features is called "Prism" a next-gen software technology that would allow users to run Web-based content offline. For example, users would be able to visit websites and still access non-dynamic content even when they don't have an active Internet connection.
 Prism is an open source cross-platform prototype of functionality that lets users split web applications out of the browser and run them directly on the desktop.
The other big feature already unveiled for Firefox 4 is called "Weave" This is an option that would basically create a set of online preferences and settings that is stored for each user instead of each computer.
