Firefox 3 Released!
This is just a short, no-frills, no hidden message post to declare that Firefox version 3 has officially been released!
I haven’t had much time to play with it as of yet but, it is supposed to be much faster for those who love lots of tabs and multitasking. They also overhauled the graphical interface a bit, added a favorites star right into the address bar and also made it so if it seems like you are typing one of your favorites, it will display the option to click on it below the address bar as well.
These are the things I have discovered in 2-3 minutes playing with it. That, and 1 negative, some of your extensions may not work. This is simply because the people who make the extensions need to re-make them for firefox 3.

Yay! I knew they were working on getting it out, but I didn’t expect it to be out this soon! I’m so going to download it right now. Thanks for the notice!
Okay, I have downloaded the new version of Firefox! Like Chris, about 50% of my add-ons and about 90% of my themes are non-compatible yet with version 3. Give them time. I don’t think it will be long before there are more compatible add-ons and themes.
Maybe we could have a Catholic Tech Tips Add-on/Theme Competition! Any takers?

I hope that version 3 has improved the spell-check (my all-time favorite feature that had been added to version 2). It was good, but there were a lot of words that it didn’t have suggestions for. So I’m hoping that has been improved in this new version.
