After months of waiting, Firefox 3 is now available. We’ve been testing the Firefox 3 release candidates for a few weeks now and are enjoying the performance improvements. The “smart location bar” is taking some getting used to and some extensions are not working with Firefox 3 yet (there have been frequent extension updates, so that’s just a matter of time), but other than that we don’t really have any complaints from what we’ve seen thus far.
Here are the main new features that are being highlighted:
- Password Manager – Remember site passwords without ever seeing a pop-up.
- One-Click Bookmarking – Bookmark, search and organize Web sites quickly and easily.
- Improved Performance – View Web pages faster, using less of your computer’s memory.
- Smart Location Bar – Find the sites you love in seconds—enter a term for instant matches that make sense.
- Instant Web Site ID -Avoid online scams, unsafe transactions and forgeries with simple site identity.
- Full Zoom – See any part of a Web page, up close and readable, in seconds.
- Platform-Native Look & Feel -Browse with a Firefox that’s integrated into your computer’s operating system.
Be sure to check out all of the features in Firefox 3.
