I just read an article at Ars Technica by Ryan Paul discussing his first look with Firefox 3.1 Beta 2 where the most promising new feature seems to be a private browsing mode.

“Private browsing mode can be toggled by selecting an item on the browser’s Tools menu. When the mode is activated, the browser will save and close the user’s current session and display an empty window with the private browsing launch screen. The screen also has a button that will allow users to clear their recent history. When the user disengages private browsing mode, their previous session will be fully restored and the browser will not retain a record of what the user did while private browsing mode was active.”

More information can be found in Ryan Paul’s article and at Mozilla’s Firefox 3.1 Beta 2 Release Notes page.
