Mozilla Releases Firefox beta 3.1
Today November 20th 2007 Mozilla announced it released a new beta version of the version Firefox 3. You can download beta if you want to give it a trial run, however…
Quote:
“…We do not recommend that anyone other than developers and testers download the Firefox 3 Beta 1 milestone release. It is intended for testing purposes only.”
New features and updates include improved security, faster speed, new download manager, new graphics and font rendering architecture and more.
As of today Firefox is targeting beta testing community to route more bugs and prepare for another wide open assault on Microsoft Internet Explorer. W3C or The World Wide Web Consortium report, that Firefox holds about 25% of global browser market, however numbers differ to 15-19% across the rest of the web.
Regardless of the estimates, dinosaur internet explorer shares continue to slide, though with the release of Vista IE went up a notch, ultimately downslide pattern carried on well into the last quarter of 2007.
One of the biggest advantages of Firefox not only over IE, but over other browsers are free-for-all useful extensions spicing up the internet experience and making work for professionals a lot easier. An immense number of people rely on some of the extensions provided by Firefox community, saving time and easing the job. For Example, designers take advantage of Web Developer add-on which provides onpage statistics, breakdown and validation of any given website. SEOs are reaping the benefits of SEO extensions, which compile lengthy tasks into a couple of buttons.
For the occaional user Firefox can offer faster speeds and immense security advantages over IE, in fact security options are next to none in preferences because they cannot be turned off. Mozilla checks the websites you browse against the suspicios Google list and in some cases will refuse the connection to those who been flagged dangerous. You can download and give Firefox 2(not beta) trial run here - your internet experience will shift towards a more productive and more joyous one.
PS.
I am not way affiliated with Mozilla, but it made my days a lot easier.
