If you’re like me, you appreciate web browsers that work. You know, do exactly what they’re supposed to do, quickly and with an attractive interface. One that doesn’t take up huge amounts of space and integrate itself into every aspect of your OS. One that runs on a Mac.
This is why I love Firefox. And today, joy of joys, the fine folks at Mozilla are releasing an all new version of the little browser that could. Wired has a list of reasons why you should download Firefox 3, but here’s my own, slightly shorter, version:
- It’s awesome.
- The folks at Mozilla’s Toronto office are also awesome, and deserve your support.
- Mozilla is trying to set a world record for the most downloads in a single day, and it’s always fun to set a world record. My own attempt- most casual swears in a single hour- met with limited success and an obscenity suit.
So in conclusion: download Firefox 3. It’s a good thing.
UPDATE: And my blog on Firefox 3 = the new hotness.
Slashdotted!
“The MySQL error was: Too many connections.”

June 17th, 2008 at 10:19 amI downloaded the beta ages ago, and it constantly crashed. That doesn’t mean that I’m not going to download it immediately. Let’s hope those bugs got fixed!
June 17th, 2008 at 10:53 amI don’t get it… it’s not the beta version to download but it’s now a ‘test’ version? It’s weird they’re doing this big hoopla now instead of on the actual release version release.
That having been said, I downloaded and I’m a fan.

June 17th, 2008 at 2:35 pmI think they set a record for most “Page Not Found” errors ever in one day.

Hmm, yes. WAY more robust than other options. If you want a smaller browser with more features, go Opera. If you want the same kernel with more features, go Flock. If you want it to run the ten year old Java script that is still in common usage, run IE.
I hate Firefox.
