Title: Firefox 3.0!
Post by: Rico on June 13, 2008, 10:54:01 AM
Next Tuesday, June 17th Firefox 3.0 is finally officially released to the world.  Not a Beta - but the real deal.  This is hands down the best browser out there.  They are trying to get a record for the most downloads in a day.  So join in the fun next week and download your copy!

I will download the new version of Firefox but I use Explorer. Mostly because I have not been able to get Firefox to render pages as cleanly as Explorer does. Firefox always looks more pixelated and not as smooth and everything I have tried to correct the problem has not worked. Anyway, I'll try and remember to download the latest version on Tuesday.

After some initial trouble with the download site going down I got it and it's running fine. I hope the memory leak issue is resolved.

Okay, I got Firefox and I think I like it better than Safari. It seems to take a good deal less memory to run it.

Give it a little time and you will come to love it.  Lot's of very cool addon's for it too.  A few I use:

Download Helper
Webmail Notifier
Fire Ftp
PicLens
