FireFox3 Rocks Your Noodle at Noon CST

by Josh on June 17, 2008 · View Comments

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

Today is the official Download Day 2008 for the new version of the Firefox web browser. Their mission: to set a Guinness World Record for the most software downloaded in 24 hours.

Since Firefox will probably be the first browser you use 3D CAD on in the future, you’ll probably want to download it. The improved performance is incredible. They’ve also improved add-on, bookmark and download managers as well as strengthened security against malware.

The download goes live at Noon CST (10am PDT).

Lost some of my favorite extensions though. I hope they get upgraded soon.
