Firefox 3: A new definition to browsing

Firefox is the present world's most popular browser. The latest member in the family of Firefox was released last Tuesday, with a staggering amount of 8 million Firefox 3 downloads in 24 hours.

I started using the Firefox 3 interface since it's beta days, starting from Firefox 3 beta 5 which came with my Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy Heron) operating system. Ever since then I've been enjoying Firefox 3, but with a few incompatibility issues such as, the popular work offline problem, and the unavailability of 3rd party plugins. The release solves these issues and also several other fixes that were dearly needed.

Among the improvements from earlier versions are the,
  1. Improved, intelligent address bar.
  2. Better resolution scaling.
  3. Lesser memory consumption.
  4. Improved security, making it the most secure Firefox ever.
  5. Faster browsing.
  6. Easy installing and management of plugins.
  7. Further language support.
And, most importantly with all these features Firefox 3 becomes the worlds best browser. Influenced by total communal participation, Firefox 3 is one great example of the true power and capability of open source, beating giants in browser industry such as IE and Netscape.

The latest version of Firefox can be downloaded by clicking the fancy download button (Spread Firefox button) on the right.
