    'Places' cut from Firefox 2

    The new bookmark and history system, Places, originally scheduled for inclusion in Firefox 2 will be disabled in official builds. First seen by Firefox users in the Bon Echo alpha build last month, the new bookmark and history system would have been the single most significant change between Firefox 1.5 and Firefox 2.0: "As we have been preparing for the FF2 Alpha2 on May 9 it has become increasingly clear that we do not have time to complete an implementation of places that lives up to our standards of user experience and quality. Places is a complex and exciting feature which changes the way people use bookmarks, history, and navigate through their private space of the web. Rather than rush it to market - we'd prefer to spend the time it takes to get it right. Thus, we are going to disable Places on the 1.8 branch and continue work on the feature on the trunk for inclusion on a future release. This is a difficult decision - but doing it this early in the release cycle gives us the time to focus on delivering an extremely high quality FF2 in Q3 and gives Places the room it needs to develop into a truly innovative feature." Numerous users and developers have expressed disappointment with the removal of the new bookmark and history system, and some say that the upcoming release no longer justifies a 2.0 version number.

    I'm disappointed that the feature won't be incorporated but they know more about the product than myself so I can't make an educated opinion. If they say it won't make Firefox 2.0 a quality product, then so be it. I'm looking forward to the other features though such as in-line spell checking, anti-phishing capabilities, and imroved extension management.
