Streamlined Firefox 3 makes browsing safer, more productive
Fri, 20 Jun 2008 18:44:00 GMT
Desktop users, developers,< and reviewers all had their download managers aimed at the Firefox Web site Monday to grab
Firefox 3 as soon as it launched and also help Mozilla
set a world record. World record or not, the latest Firefox release is a world-class Web browser. It looks impressive, renders text and images better than its predecessor, and helps you browse safely. But while it delivers pages faster by cutting down crucial milliseconds, its memory footprint (in unscientific tests) is still as big as a yeti.
