PRODUCT SUMMARY

The good: Firefox 3 touts faster rendering, vastly reduced use of system resources, clever new data-mining tools for your bookmarks and browser history, and more security features than any other browser.

The bad: Firefox 3 will no longer support Windows 95, 98, and Me; same with Mac OS X, versions 10.2 and earlier.

The bottom line: If only for the speed, lightness of being, and security alone, Firefox remains our Editors' Choice for best Internet browser.

Firefox 3: 6.4 6.5 Million Downloads and Counting …

from AllThingsDigital -- WSJ by John Paczkowski

Looks like Firefox 3 Download Day will be one for the record books after all. Though its servers were initially overwhelmed by the volume of download requests Tuesday, Mozilla soon had the Firefox 3 download site humming along nicely. And within 5 hours it had broken Firefox 2’s single-day record of 1.6 million downloads and by 5 AM PDT — 18 hours into its world record attempt — it had already blown the doors off the 5 million mark it had set for itself with 6,424,790 downloads.
