Its way faster then any browser I have ever used. It is way safer then Internet Explorer because it doesn't include active x and it has a built in pop up blocker (you can choose which sites are aloud), Also with the security it includes a malware protection (there is a lot more, check the link at the bottom) Those are the two main things. There are a ton of little tweaks that really make it feel like its something new. And best of all is the address bar (named by beta testers the awesome bar) It stores all of the websites so whenever you type in part of the website or a meta tag the website has it will show up in the drop down box based on relevance. Bookmarking is way easier to use because it automatically goes into the unsorted folder and then you can sort it later, you can even add tags to your bookmarks that will work in the awesome bar (say I added the tags xbox 360 to my bookmark of www.360-hq.com All I would have to do is type xbox 360 in my address bar and it will show up in the drop down box. The last and final thing is on a few websites (more will be supported very soon) you can click the image beside the address bar and if a trusted company has verified it, it will show information about the site (who owns it, etc)

Here is the full release notes

As you can see I love firefox, and they really did improve upon it quite a bit in Firefox 3 Smile

Just clear your browsing history after each time you look at those pages, if it still shows up just clear your cookies, download history, and saved form and search history with it and that should clear it right up Smile

If you clear your cookies, tempoary internet files and your history it gets rid of all of your looked at webpages.

Yeah i know that, but rather than have bookmarks, i always use the drop down list to keep sites that i look at and clearing history clears them. Ohh just realised, the drop down list now shows your bookmarks. Sorted.

Bring on the porn Very Happy
