And they had said that it almost made the last Alpha release and that it was going to be put in the nightlies about a week after Alpha 3. This is very disappointing news.

According to the new schedule, Places will appear in Alpha 5, which is to be released in late May. Alpha 4 is still slated to be released in April, which is odd, because there are only four days left. Mozilla better get its act together. Places is supposed to be the big feature of this version and they know it. If they cannot get it working in time I'm afraid they will postpone the final release until early 2008.

Hopefully it's the 2nd choice. If it requires an extension then I'll really be disappointed because there are already extensions that let Fx2 sync with bookmark sites. If this new thing requires extensions, then it makes the programmers rewrite their extensions while the user still has to go through the same ext hassle and extra recourse use as with Fx2!

That way Firefox won't get cluttered up with a bunch of services that most users don't need. Not only that but the API will make it easily extensible so that users can create their own add-ons for nearly all of the services available.As MetaMan pointed out there will probably be features incorporated that they are yet to mention, but the major feature will definitely be Places.
