Firefox 3 to be Launched on June 17
Late Wednesday evening, a Mozilla spokesperson confirmed that the final edition of Firefox 3.0 is going to be available to the general public this upcoming Tuesday, June 17. The open source product is the second leading web browser on the market next to Microsoft’s Internet Explorer with roughly 18 percent market share.
Firefox 3.0 includes the follwing features:
- Updated address bar with integrated bookmarking functionality
- Standard themes that are consistent with the native UI of your Operating System (Windows, Mac, Linux)
- Revamped bookmark manager
- New Icons
- One-click site information
- Secure add-on updates
- Vista Parental Controls
- Revamped password management
- Full page zoom
- Scrolling Tabs
- One-click bookmarking
- Tags for bookmarks
While the memory issue has improved compared to Firefox 2, browsers such as Opera and Safari are handling sites that are loaded with AJAX, videos, music, and other heavy hitters much better than Firefox 3.
