Well the Firefox 3.0 launch time came and went but it now appears ready for download. I’ve been using 3.0 release candidates for the past few weeks without a problem so I took the plunge and downloaded the new release. So far, it’s been a pleasure to use. Most of my add-ons were available and the speed difference on the Mac is great. I also really appreciate that the Firefox team took the time to make Firefox now feel like an official Mac application. Simple and beautiful. If you’re interested in the latest version of Firefox, download it now, and be part of what Mozilla hopes will be a record breaking event.

Firefox 3.0: So far, I'm Impressed
Tuesday, June 17th, 2008Running Multiple Versions of Firefox
Tuesday, June 3rd, 2008Recently, I’ve been testing the latest version of Firefox 3. I had held off on the testing version 3 because it overwrites previous installations of Firefox. You would think that Mozilla would find a better solution so they have a larger install base for beta testing but maybe this is by design.
Well the other day I came across this nice little application for the Mac which lets you keep your default Firefox installation while also testing Firefox 3. It was writen by Dave Martorana and the full details can be found at dangerouslyawesome. If you have the need to test Firefox 3 before it comes out or want to see what’s new with Firefox without the risk of losing everything, check out this application.
