i downloaded it yesterday (v3)

i was late to the firefox party. i have only been using it for about 6 or 7 months. it took me a little while to adjust to the tabs for multiple sites, but now i love it. unfortunately though, i can't use it at work. i'd love to use it there as well.


Building a Better Browser: Firefox Keeps Innovating

By Rob Pegoraro

Mozilla Firefox, the little Web browser with the quirky name, has grown up fast. Four years ago, Firefox was an obscure project Microsoft felt free to ignore. Now it has grabbed about a fifth of the market worldwide.

And while Microsoft has shipped only one upgrade to its Internet Explorer in that time, Firefox just hit its fourth major release.

Like the earlier 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0 versions, Firefox 3 -- a free download for Windows 2000, XP and Vista; Mac OS X 10.4 and 10.5; and recent Linux releases at http://mozilla.com-- makes the Web easier and safer to use in a few distinct ways.

Its tabbed browsing lets you switch among multiple sites in one window, and a small box at the top right of every window lets you direct a query to your choice of Web search engines. "Find as you type" text searching jumps to a given word on a page in moments. Its separation from the guts of Windows makes it safer and more reliable than Internet Explorer. And Firefox's open-source code allows inspection by anybody, making for fast bug fixes.....
