Tired of big browser apps, slowing your internet explorer to a crawl? You may want to download the newest offering from Mozilla, Firefox 3. They just released the free download this afternoon. Firefox 3 is loaded with new safety features, protecting you from fake corporate websites, malware, and hijackers. As for speed... Specifically, it takes 60 milliseconds to change Gmail from showing one message to another with Firefox 3, compared with 413 milliseconds for IE 7 and 227 for Firefox 2. It also has better memory handling and what's known as the Awesome Bar.
To test memory use, Firefox programmers loaded 500 pages from top sites on the Web then closed and opened them thousands of times. Through that process, Mozilla stamped out many memory "leaks" under which Firefox 2 wouldn't relinquish memory once it was no longer needed. Front and center is the Awesome Bar, officially called the Smart Location Bar, which lets users type real words rather than URL addresses to call up Web sites.
Give it a try...
