After a few weeks of using Firefox 3.0 on various computers, I am ready to declare it a winner! The best thing about it is that even though it has more features, it is faster than the previous version. In my unofficial tests, I believe that it is the fastest popular browser on the market right now. Microsoft ought to take a lesson from Mozilla…. create a new version with more features, but make it leaner and faster!

One of the best new features is the address bar which is called the Smart Location Bar. You type in just a few letters and Firefox will try to guess what address you want. It is uncanny in its accuracy and usefulness and as you use it, it learns and adapts to your preferences.

Firefox 3 also has a more intuitive interface, meaning that most users will find it easier to use. I considered the download manager in Firefox 2 to be one of the best, but in version 3, it is even better. They have also added more customization and organization options in the bookmark area.

All-in-all its quickness and new features Firefox 3 is excellent.

Now I have a special treat for you. Al Brown, aka Big Toe, one of the experts on the Compu-KISS message boards, has written about his experience with Firefox 3. Click here for Al’s Firefox 3 impressions.
