Mozilla Firefox 3.0 Final Released

Posted by Saad Ibrahim 18 June, 2008

A while ago Mozilla officially released the much anticipated Firefox 3 final version on their official download page, it was first uploaded on the FTP site few hours earlier but they requested users not to download from there:

The files in this directory are – for now – only meant to be used by our testers. Downloading them directly can harm our ability to distribute Firefox efficiently, and will also not be counted as part of our attempt to set a Guinness World Record for the most software downloads in a day.

After releasing 5 Beta versions and three Release Candidates Mozilla has finally released the final version of the browser, there have been many features added in this version that weren’t available in the last version (Version 2) for example the new add-on manager which displays the add-ons that Mozilla developers recommend, the modified auto complete feature which shows related entries from both your browser history and your bookmarks when you type something in the address bar, the all new bookmarks manager, the revamped download manager and the new themes that are tailored to suit the operating system one uses, a website specific font resize feature and much more, the compatibility in terms of ad ons is going good as I have seen many add-ons being updated to support the latest version in the last few days

Although you won’t notice any noticeable change from the previous version (RC3) cause there are no features added as RC3 was supposed to be the final release if no major bugs were discovered, but I will update you with the changes as soon as the change logs are published on the Mozilla site
