Time to download Firefox 3

Firefox 3 is being released today. I’ve been using the pre-release versions for a little while now and it is certainly the greatest web browser ever. Probably the best new feature is the smarter location bar, usually referred to as the AwesomeBar. It is not quite as life changing as tabs, but it’s close. Actually it is more like the built-in search box except instead of searching all of the internet, it searches just the pages you have bookmarked or recently visited.

A lot of these new features are thanks to the hard work that has been going on behind the scenes like integrating SQLite (AwesomeBar and Places) and Cairo (full page zoom). It is nice to see all of that paying off (not that I had anything to do with it).

So, go download it today, or read about more of the enhancements.
