Firefox 3 RC2

The release of Firefox 3 is getting closer. For those of you who have not tried the latest release candidate then I recommend that you do as it has many performance improvements over the current version. Admittedly, you might experience extension compatibility problems, but it won’t be long until the developers release compatible versions, I’m sure.

I love Firefox but have always hated the slow performance after it has been open for a few hours. This is also a reason why I use Opera, too, as it is much more resource-friendly and quicker than firefox 2 (although I’d prefer not to use it at all). Opera is a good browser but it does not have extensions and these are what make Firefox stand far ahead of the competition.

I’m sure Firefox will go on to eat up more of Internet Explorer’s market share once Firefox 3 is released. IE is truly lagging behind many of the alternative browsers available.

I won’t re-invent the wheel by making my own full review but rather recommend the one on MozillaLinks.org, Firefox 3 RC2 review, as it is very good and detailed (screenshots included!). In general, it is a great website for all the latest Firefox news.
