Finally - Firefox3: The Best Firefox Browser Ever is Released

The Best Firefox Yet

With more than 15,000 improvements, Firefox 3 is faster, safer and smarter than ever before.

I've been waiting months since the announcement from Mozilla that Firefox3 will be stable and ready for everyday usage, it was officially released on 17th June 2008 and it is all it's cracked up to be!

  • It is Faster to load; no more waiting ages for a page to load from a link in another app. like Outlook or other link farms and RSS readers.

  • Less Memory Hungry; this version (3.0) runs with much better memory use and that adds to the speed of page access, definitely a much anticipated upgrade to previous versions!

  • More Secure Than Any Other;

When Are You at Risk?

An independent study shows that, in 2006, IE users were vulnerable to online threats 78% of the time. Firefox users? Only 2%.

  • Fully Customizable; there are over 5,000 Add-Ons to help you create a "Truly Personal Web Experience" that no other browser comes close to!
This is by far just scraping the surface of what this new version release can help you do, the best part of all of it is that it is an Open Source application and that means that it is FREE!!, always has been and always will be.

Take the Tour with a cool Video to show what it's all about.

You should at least download it and have a play with it, especially if all you've ever used is IE. There will be no compatibility issues if you have both Firefox3 and IE7 installed, I've done it for years.
