Mozilla says Firefox 3 ready for prime-time

BOSTON (Reuters) - A new version of Mozilla's popular Firefox Web browser is ready for download with improved security and memory use as the tiny company takes a stab at Microsoft Corp's dominant Internet Explorer.

The program's creators told Reuters on Thursday that the privately-held company's trial version of Firefox 3 browser is ready for the masses to use after months of development.

I love Firefox, once I tried it I instantly stopped using Internet Explorer

I love using the themes and the extra optional add-ons. They do a good job of tab use, the interface, and the efficiency. There is really nothing like it. The customizing features blow away anything else.

man seriously, I don't know how anyone can go back to IE7 after Firefox. Just the extensions alone make me a believer

Also with this beta 4 I have had for a while, still a few bugs like at random times when you load a page and try to scroll down it auto scrolls back up and keeps doing it until you refresh.

Also when i went to post on PS3 forum and i clicked reply it took me back to the home page :S

Back to Firefox 2 until the full version comes out.

so soon? I just gotten use to firefox 2.
I wonder what those monkeys are doing with IE7, now that firefox 3 is out.

kcdude6630d ago

There was an IE8 beta out but I think I heard some people are having trouble finding where to download it. Anyway, I tried it out and it sucks just like IE7, the interface is the same and I don't really notice any differences. Firefox rules!

BloodySinner6630d ago

I'm currently using Firefox 3 beta. I'll wait for the update to arrive.

Finalfantasykid6630d ago

It is awesome. Most of the differences are subtle, but they make an absolutely huge difference. The new URL bar is one of the greatest features ever!

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing15d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit15d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing15d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9215d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
