Firefox 3 Released!

Mozilla released Firefox 3 today. Of course, I’ve been running Minefield nightly builds for several months on several machines. I can’t even remember what the new features are because they aren’t new to me anymore. I’ll run the official version 3 for a while before I start running nightly builds again.

Download Press Release Release Notes

The main Addons I use are:

• Nightly Tester Tools (for forcing "incompatible" Addons to install)
• Adblock Plus + Element Hiding Helper (for removing crap I don't want to see)
• Remove It Permanently (for removing stuff that ABP can't)
• Greasemonkey (for adding features or removing "features" from websites)
• Firebug (web development tool)
• MinimizeToTray (minimizes Firefox to an icon next to the clock instead of as a bar)
• Hide Menubar (press Alt to see the Menubar when you need it)

The release of Firefox 3 kicks off Download Day, the Mozilla community’s grassroots campaign to set a brand new Guinness World Record for the greatest number of software downloads in 24 hours. The worldwide community effort begins the minute Firefox 3 is released and will continue for a full day.
