Firefox 3 Released!
June 17th, 2008
That’s it, it’s finally here after almost 3 years of development - 2 hours ago Mozilla has officially released Firefox 3.
I immediately tried to download FF3 as it came out, but apparently, so did many other people so Mozilla’s servers were down. Now it’s 2 hours later and downloads are working!
So get going - Download Firefox 3

Improved Performance:
It does render web pages much faster, but it still uses as much memory as version 2 did, no improvement there.
