My Experiences with Firefox 3.0 on Linux, Windows and Mac OS X

,----[ Quote ]
| Loads up in three seconds, a real rocket! Firefox 3 integrates with your GTK+ 
| theme, so you’ve got some cool visual consistency going on which is actually 
| an exception in Linux.

Guiness World Record Certificate in your name - Firefox 3

,----[ Quote ]
| The record is 15,067,570 downloads (15 Million). Country wise, USA tops the
| list with a whooping 4 million + downloads. Surprisingly, sans the US,
| relatively small countries like Iran and France clocked more downloads than
| its larger counterparts like India and China.
|
| If you are one of the people who downloaded Firefox on June 17th, then
| congratulations !!; You are a part of the Guiness Book of World Records. And
| the people at Firefox are ever too grateful to forget your valuable
| contribution.

Need FF2 in Hardy? Try GNU’s IceCat.

,----[ Quote ]
| IceCat is “the GNU version of the Firefox browser.” Basically, the GNU guys
| took Mozilla’s code, and compiled it without using the “proprietary” parts,
| meaning the Logo and the name, among other things.

Firefox 3.0 Beta 2 Is A Win For Linux

Personas from Mozilla Labs give Firefox a sleek coat

,----[ Quote ]
| I probably won't use Personas much myself since I greatly prefer the 
| unadulterated GTK look in Firefox 3, but the addon is very intriguing from a 
| technical standpoint. The way that Personas takes Firefox's Internet 
| capabilities and leverages theme to bring dynamic content to the Firefox  
| chrome layer is very creative and it reflects a lot of possibilities that I 
| had never previously considered.

Update on the Firefox 3 Linux Theme

,----[ Quote ]
| Work on the new linux theme for Firefox 3 is progressing nicely due to a very 
| active group of contributers. To match the operating system’s theme, 
| Firefox’s navigation toolbar will use native GTK icons.

Firefox Set Free in IceWeasel

,----[ Quote ]
| One possible outcome is that Debian developers just rename Firefox to
| something else. Another possibility is that they just use GNU's
| IceWeasel.
