Firefox 3 Browser Makes a Splash

By Reshma Kumar at June 17, 2008 0 Comments

Mozilla launched its Firefox 3 web browser today and is on a campaign to set a Guinness World Record for the most software downloaded in 24 hours. I have downloaded it and am using right now. As I write this post, the site shows 3,331,796 total downloads with the bulk of the downloads occurring in the U.S., Canada, Brazil, China, and Australia.

Firefox 3 claims to have more than 15,000 improvements and is faster, safer, and smarter than before. Some of the cool new features include one-click bookmarking where users can click on the star icon in the address field to bookmark a page. Users should enjoy faster site performance by way of the browser’s improved memory management capabilities, etc. which will allow pages to load faster. I haven’t noticed this yet. The browser also comes with a full page zoom feature that allows users to see entire web pages. And much more. Check it out for yourself. Get it here.
