Firefox, my favorite web browser, will finally release version 3 on Tuesday, 17 June 2008.

If you already use Firefox, this new version should fix the memory leak issue that happens when you open up too many tabs. Add-ons are much easier to find, install and manage, too.

If you don’t use Firefox, try it! It’s a free web browser that is faster and safer than Safari or Internet Explorer.

See these pages for more details:

According to this report, Firefox servers were getting pounded earlier today. They seem to have the problems resolved now.

The New York Times has a good article, including a brief mention of the upcoming revisions to HTML and JavaScript.
