*Improved ease of use through: better password management, easier add-on installation, new download manager with resumable downloading, full page zoom, animated tab strip, and better integration with Windows Vista, Mac OS X and Linux.
*Richer personalization through: one-click bookmarking, smart bookmark folders, location bar that matches against your history and bookmarks for URLs and page titles, ability to register web applications as protocol handlers, and better customization of download actions for file types.
*Improved platform features such as: new graphics and font rendering architecture, JavaScript 1.8, major changes to the HTML rendering engine to provide better CSS, float-, and table layout support, native web page form controls, colour profile management, and offline application support.
*Performance improvements such as: better data reliability for user profiles, architectural improvements to speed up page rendering, over 330 memory leak fixes, a new XPCOM cycle collector to reduce entire classes of leaks, and reductions in the memory footprint.

Firefrox 3 is not a beta anymore, but when you have been using firefox 2 with lots of add-ons you like very much. you should stick with firefox 2. Most add-ons you use in 2 do not work in Firefox 3. When you do not care about the add ons in firefox 2, yes you should upgrade. Firefox 3 has also plenty of add-ons you can use.

I used to love Firefox, I was a loyal fan of it until Chrome came around and now I’m finding that nothing can really beat it. I’ve not played around with the newest release of Firefox yet though so maybe I should give it another go!

currently, I am using Firefox 3.5 version. it’s a fast and reliable browser compare to any other browsers. we can add lots of add-ons in firefox.

Quicktime plays in Firefox, but not in Internet Exploder - HELP!?

Maybe you’re missing a plugin or your Internet Explorer version is too old?
Till then,

It will most likely set it self as the default browser. This means that if a program needs to open a browser, it will automatically choose the one set as default. You can change which is default in the control panel.

I just don’t get the whole “Built-in support for Personas” thing. I thought it meant it came with Personas preinstalled, but that’s not the case.
May 6th, 2010 at 4:29 am
Well, there’s no limit that you can put to the number of different personas people want. There are hundreds and thousands of different people and objects people want to personalize their browser after so you can never satisfy all those people simply with what comes with the browser, so you need the browser to support downloadable personas.
Till then,

Everyone uses the Web differently, and Firefox lets users customize their browser with more than 5,000 add-ons.
June 18th, 2010 at 4:21 am
No longer a fledgling upstart, Firefox is the gold standard of alternatives to the still-dominant Internet Explorer. Firefox 3.6 is full-featured, lightning fast, and secure.
June 24th, 2010 at 3:18 pm
Thanks for such valuable information. currently, I am using Firefox 3.5 version. it’s a fast and reliable browser compare to any other browsers. we can add lots of add-ons in firefox.
