Firefox 3 is ready for download

The latest version of the Fire Browser browser is available to users, along with many new features, security and memory enhancements to better compete against rival Internet Explorer.

" After months of development, the majority of users have been able to try Firefox 3, " Mozilla said. Previously, the company always recommended that ordinary (non-tech-savvy) users should not switch from Firefox 2 to a beta version of Firefox 3.

The reason that Mozilla offers is that the browser is incomplete and can cause unwanted problems on the system. " Firefox 3 is the most stable browser today, than any other competitor, " Mozilla Vice President Mike Schroepfer said.

The two key rivals of the Fire Fox at this time are Internet Explorer of Microsoft and Safari software giant of Apple.

" Our engineers are working on" polishing "the final product. Hopefully the full version of Firefox 3 will be released before June, " Schroepfer promised.

Change your mind

Compared to Firefox 2, Firefox 3 is more secure and allows users to open websites even when they are not connected to the Internet.

Besides, Firefox 3 also requires less computer memory than its predecessor.

Until noon yesterday, Mozilla's website still recommended that only the developer community and professional tester should download Firefox 3, the fourth beta. But today, the company's leadership changed its mind.

" The fifth beta is ready to step onto the stage in the next few weeks, with an almost complete interface. Stability has also improved a lot, " Schroepfer said.
