Firefox 3 Beta 1 is available for download here. When they launched it earlier there were complaints that it had too many bugs and vulnerabilities, and critics said it should have waited until it fixed the bugs. But Mozilla wants to release them quickly for some reason. Mashable.com thinks the Firefox 3 full version will be released in a month or two. Firefox 2.0 also was similarly launched this way.
What is the difference between Firefox 3.0 and Firefox 2.0? The theme, look and feel of Firefox. Mashable.com says don’t expect miracles and revolutionary changes, the upgrade experience from 2.0 to 3.0 should be seamless. The rendering engine used in the browser Gecko 1.9 is faster, more stable and more accurate than earlier versions. The main features of Firefox 3.0 are: - Antivirus software integration built in the browser, it may prevent the virus loaded software from the browser. - Phishing protection by verifying the authenticity of the website (some sites may pretend it to be Amazon, but have strange web addresses, this new Firefox will prevent that). - Handles the plug-ins better and provides support for Vista parental controls. - File downloader has been improved and has a feature that enables resuming downloads. - Add on manager helps to manage the plug-ins better. - Web pages can be bookmarked with a single click, Del.ici.ous Toolbar does that also and has many other new features. Firefox 3 will probably use less of your computer memory which is a great feature, because the Firefox 2.0 if you have don’t more RAM it dominates it and freezes your computer sometimes. I have downloaded it but I will test them later because some of the extensions I use frequently may not be available with the new version yet. But I am sure it will be a better one than Firefox 2.0 and far better than Internet Explorer browser.Share it! — Rate it: up down [flag this hub]

Thanks i'll wait for the final version
I downloaded the first Firefox 2.0 it was initially difficult, but it wasn't bad, I hope this one also will be the same. Much better than IE browsers, these are safe.
I still am confused why such a great browser is not bundled on new PCs!! The two people i managed to persuade to buy one had to have it installed..Anyway, im off to get my fresh firefox.
Thanks for the tips;)
Mark, the Microsoft doesn't want to put Firefox upfront, so they make the IE default browser, but slowly the Firefox is gaining the market, soon the users will be smart and ignore the IE version. I use the IE once or twice a year only by accident :)
yay!!! with enough firefox fans we will soon take over the world!!!
A Great Software
Hi Live N Learn and pplive, I downloaded last night, the speed is impressive and also uses less memory. The extensions are limited but so far they are enough, I am sure they will be available soon. I have stopped using Firefox 2.0.
