Starting later today (June 17, 2008) Firefox 3 will be available for download. To celebrate the release of their new browser, Mozilla (the makers of Firefox) is throwing a party.
Join millions of other Firefox fans for Download Day 2008. On this day Mozilla is hoping to set a Guinness World Record for the most amount of software downloads in 24 hours. This is a very smart advertising ploy by Mozilla to help spread the word about Firefox.
If you don’t use Firefox, or at least a browser based on Firefox, then you should look at some alternative browsers.
However, if you are Firefox user and haven’t tried FF3 yet, you are in for a pleasant surprise. I have been using the release candidate for a while and love it. It seems as if they have fixed everything that was wrong with FF2 as well as included some new features.
Some of these new features include: better performance, smart bookmarks, improved download manager and add-on manager. Some other notables are better security features such as malware and phishing alerts.
When the Firefox 3 release candidates became available not all Firefox 2 extensions worked with the new version. In fact, there are a few that still don’t work with Firefox 3. However, the majority of your favorite extensions have been updated to work with Firefox 3.
With all that being said, Firefox 3 is much better than its predecessor and is a joy to use. I strongly recommend you check it out (and tell your friends about it too). Happy downloading!
