Posted By: At last FireFox 3 has been released yesterday. FireFox 3 has a lot of improvements, 15.000 to be exactly, and it’s faster, smarter and safer than before.
Yesterday I downloaded the new version and I’m amazed! FieFox 3 is indeed much faster and it even uses less memory this time! It’s now also even easier to work with. Ok some of the add-ons doesn’t work now, but I’m sure that the author’s are going to update it asap!
Anyway, FireFox has a lot of new features such as:
- One-Click Bookmarking
Bookmark, search and organize Web sites quickly and easily. - Instant Web Site ID
Avoid online scams, unsafe transactions and forgeries with simple site identity. - Improved Performance
View Web pages faster, using less of your computer’s memory. - Full Zoom
See any part of a Web page, up close and readable, in seconds. - Password Manager
Remember site passwords without ever seeing a pop-up. - Smart Location Bar
Find the sites you love in seconds-enter a term for instant matches that make sense. - Platform-Native Look & Feel
Browse with a Firefox that’s integrated into your computer’s operating system.
So you can see that Mozilla has done everything to make this version the best FireFox version yet!

I had downloaded it yesterday. Yup, it’s faster. And I like the new look.

It is amazingly fast. I have found nothing yet that does not work properly. We will have to give it a bit of time but it appears to be quite stunning. Some of the extensions I use no longer work but I suppose it is just a matter of time before these guys catch up.

FireFox Rocks!!!
shaxxs last blog post..Increase Gasoline Price, Increase Crime
Yup, I also downloaded it yesterday, and it seems that loading webpages goes extremely fast! On of my plugins doesn’t work, but that will be just a matter of time..

Since google sync broke (and I haven’t looked for a new version) I checked out foxmarks and that seems really cool..
I’m going to try it out tomorrow on my work computer to see if it all syncs well..
tazdogs last blog post..Got your Firefox?
I am looking forward to this, but have to wait for a day when I can let my computer run for a while while I do other things…

2 Karen:
I love it!
Yeah, It’s extremely fast!
2 Dunn:
Jep. For a minute I wanted to change the theme but then I changed my mind cause I really like the default theme!
2 Sailor:
Only 2 of my add-ons (FasterFox & PDF Download) are not compatible yet. But I believe that the authors are going to make sure that it’s compatible with FF.
By the way: Are you still going to use Flock for all of your web related stuff or are you going to use FF3 now!?
2 Shaxx:
FireFox rocked already but with this new version it rocks even harder!
2 DaKeY:
I used IE only for Rabobank, but as a matter of fact they have updated the site a while ago so I actually use IE ONLY for testing my website! :p
Your really love your tattoo, isn’t it? 
Yep. No more IE for you too I guess!
By the way: I see that you finally have a Gravatar too!
2 TazDog:
Foxmarks is really great and it syncs perfectly and off course it’s compatible with FF3!
2 Nicole:
Having BBQ’s every day?! 
You really should install FireFox, it’s even better than it was before! 
Nice to see you back Nicole. How is life in Hungary?
I didnt even know there was a firefox 3, sounds cool,going to download it right now, and give it a try !
jesse the cats last blog post..You’re Simply The Best…
I haven’t upgraded to FF3 yet, I tried the release candidate but about 85% of my extensions do not work so I’m a little hesitant now.
JONxBLAZEs last blog post..iPhone 3G – Version 2.0
2 Jesse the cat:
Yes there is a new version which is much better then the previous one. Give it a try it wouldn’t let you down, believe me!
2 JONxBlaze:
Well..Don’t hesitate.. Believe me the authors of the add-ons will update the version and make it compatible with FF3.
The only add-ons which aren’t compatible at the moment and which I use is actually: Fasterfox.
In the mean time, the time between my last comment and now, the other add-on, PDF Download, has been updated. So I guess you can switch and be sure that everything will be updated.
I Love FireFox!!
I was a little worried at the Start when some of my Flickr Scripts didn’t work but now everything is almost Up to Date!!

Hello , I’m Luke Zet.
It’s definitely a good browser, with it’s fast features. We have all been waiting for this release!
Luke Zets last blog post..Make Money with Your Blogroll!
Firefox just keeps getting better and better, and judging from the visitors on my blog is clearly becoming the browser of choice.
Mr Pappagiorgios last blog post..TEN THINGS: Ten Reasons Why The Incredible “Hulk Smashes” The Hulk 2003 Version
since everyone is recommending FF3 then i think i will upgrade it asap…
Yeah, this is definitely the best Firefox version.. which it should be since it is the newest.
However, with the recent changes with Opera, I have to say Opera is now my browser of choice. It is MUCH faster than Firefox, even the new version. I love speed dial (which Fast Dial from Firefox doesn’t even compare to that well for me). It looks a hell of a lot better on Windows Classic, the ease of adding your own search…
Two things that Firefox has that I wish Opera would have are the bookmark toolbar and the new address bar/tags.
2 BillyWarhol:
No Don’t worry about the scripts they’ll be updated soon!
I love FireFox too!
2 Luke Zet:
Yes indeed, I was really curious about this version and it hasn’t let me down.
2 Mr Pappagiorgio:
A message to those who still use IE: Just download FireFox and you’ll be amazed! 
Jep. Same here!
2 Chicken Say:
You should upgrade to FF3. I know you can’t be disappointed!
2 Gary R.Hess:
I can’t imagine that Opera is even faster then FireFox, no just kidding! 
but maybe I’ll try it once but Firefox is my favorite browser. It fits my needs perfectly.
To be honest I have never used Opera.
About the two things which Opera doesn’t have does Opera works like FireFox? I mean with Add-ons? If possible you can write your own Add-on!
