Top 10 Reasons to Use Firefox 3

The new version of the Firefox Web browser was downloaded more than 8 million times in the first 24 hours it was available, the software’s developers said Wednesday.

At its peak, Firefox’s Web site was serving 17,000 copies a minute. Downloads came from some 200 countries, led by the United States, Germany, Japan, Spain and Britain.

Here are my reasons for you to download.

1. The Best Firefox Yet – With more than 15,000 improvements, Firefox 3 is faster, safer and smarter than ever before.
2. Performance -Short and sweet, Firefox now uses less of your computer’s memory while it’s running. and A redesigned page rendering and layout engine means you see Web pages faster—and in the way they were meant to be seen.Improved text rendering is just the beginning of the benefits of an all new graphic engine for Firefox 3.
3. Smart Location Bar – A quick way to get to the sites with addresses you only vaguely remember. The new Firefox 3 location bar learns as you use it. Over time, it adapts to your preferences and offers better fitting matches. Type in a term and the autocomplete function includes possible matching sites from your browsing history, as well as sites you’ve bookmarked and tagged in a drop down. For example, you could enter: “Phone” to find “www.apple.com”.And Bingo.
4. Security & Privacy – If you are worried or not sure about site’s legitimacy before you make a transaction? Click on a site favicon for an instant identity overview.
5. Search Suggestions – Start typing in the search bar and it will prompt you with a drop down of filled-in suggestions, plus you can use the search bar as a calculator and converter .
6. Tabs : Simple and easy, you can think of them as the electronic version of a well kept filing cabinet, with the tabs as the dividers and the sites as the content kept in folders. Each new site appears as a new tab (not a new window) and can be accessed in one click. Features like :
   • Save on Exit
   • Reopen Closed Tabs
   • Drag & Reorder Tabs
   • Smooth Scrolling
7. Zoom In, Zoom Out : You can Zoom in and Zoom out of a Page. Look at a Image up close. [CTRL + (+/-)]
8. Tag’em All – After buildding up a large list of bookmarks, keeping track of them all can get a little messy. To stay organized, you can assign tags to your bookmarked sites: just double-click on the star icon and you’ll be prompted to enter your tags.
9. Localization: You can download it in Gujarati and Punjabi also.
