Lots of new features and improved performance.
Read all about it.

The beta version has been available for a while.

I downloaded it and it would not work.
Eventually got it to start by uninstalling the old version, then re installing the new.

I don't know what happened.
The fault message had something to do with "Tabs" in the older version.

All is well, now.

OMG You can type part of the URL and then the name of the thread or a keyword to go to it directly... combined searching with a URL... nice!

And its blazingly fast too

Now to pick a theme - the default is pretty ordinary.... need a LR designer to come up with one and then it would leak oil over the page... and maybe it wouldn't start up or maybe it would even have the three amigos.

Firefox 3 downloads hit 7m despite server FAIL

Mozilla pats self on back regardless

Nail down your security priorities. Ask the experts and your peers at The Register Security Debate, April 17, 2008 (http://go.theregister.co.uk/c/td/ttl/http%3A//www.theregister.co.uk/Page/security200803/)
The Mozilla Foundation’s servers yesterday buckled under the strain of its own PR stunt to convince World+Dog to download Firefox 3 and set a new record over a 24-hour period.
So far, at the time of writing, the open source organisation is claiming just over 7m downloads of its latest browser - despite the fact that at launch the Mozilla’s servers went titsup, apparently under the weight of demand.
Firefox 3 Download Day was supposed to break cover at 10am PDT 17 June, but sadly Mozilla’s marketing team hadn’t foreseen what it described as the “outpouring of interest and enthusiasm around” the web browser which it reckoned had been “overwhelming (literally!)”. Quite.
No matter though, said Mozilla, which decided instead to simply bypass the small detail of its servers spitting out html errors and being largely unavailable at launch by starting the official download day once the site finally went live nearly five hours later than planned.
Mozilla will make the record books for the most software downloaded in 24 hours, seeing as there’s no Guinness World Record to beat.

and it has some problems with quite a few sites...
