Mozilla’s Firefox 3.0 has been officially released today. If I were you I would suggest that you get the browser today so you can join in Mozilla’s attempt to set a Guinness Book of World Records entry for most downloaded software.
Taking aside the Guinness attempt though, Firefox 3.0 is a must-have app. I am using it right now and I have never seen Firefox this fast and robust. It is quite zippy and rendering pages in some of my favorite websites is almost instantaneous. I’ve noticed how fast it is because I was browsing a website with version 2 and then after installing 3 I browsed through the same site and it was really noticeably faster. The other features look like it will become as useful as the tabbed browsing that it used before Microsoft decided to use it on Internet Explorer as well.
