Firefox version 3.0
Microsoft will be coming out with internet explorer (IE) soon. The Beta version is already available here on Microsoft's website.
Here are some of the noticeable new features of firefox:
+New Style
Firefox has a new navigation toolbar which feels much better and comfortable.
This is the old dull looking navigation toolbar.
+Smart Location Bar
The new location bar enables users to relate connecting keywords to the user's internet history or related websites.
+Smart Bookmarks
This feature enables the smart button be pressed and "wahla", the bookmark window appears. Click "done" to bookmark.
+Improved Security
This feature tells you how secure the site is.
+Additional Add-ons
After using firefox for the pass few years, this is the first time firefox comes with integrated plugins. I'm glad that the Windows Media Player Plugin is included. In older versions of firefox, windows media player plugin needed to be donwnloaded externally which took me some time to find.
+Save and Quit Function
Firefox allows you to save web pages that you have last visited before quitting. The next time you run firefox, the web pages will be automically loaded.
+Zoom Function
This feature includes zoon in and zoom out. The Zoom In can be activated by holding down the "Crtl" button and pressing the "+" button. The opposite goes to the Zoom Out function by holding down the "Crtl" button and pressing the "-" button. This feature was not included in the previous version of firefox but on through downloading an extension for the function. Internet Explorer had this function included in their IE 7.
+Search function in Download Manager
Enables firefox users to search through their downloads by keywords.

The Mozilla Foundtion wants to Set a Guinness World Record for most software downloads in 24 hours. The official date for the launch of Firefox 3 is June 17, 2008.
Please help Firefox because I think that Firefox is a great internet browser compare to Internet explorer (IE)
Why???
Comparing Firefox and (IE)...
1. Firefox has a better pop-up blocker compare to IE
2. Checks spelling mistakes in text ares. This feature is not seen in IE at all.
3. Firefox is more secure compare to IE
+Firefox has built-in automatic updates. In IE, if you’re the person who turns off automatic updates in windows than IE would not be updated for any protection against internet attacks
+Firefox protects internet users against spyware or viruses or trojans.
+Firefox will not allow a Web sites to download, install, or run programs on your computer without your explicit agreement.
+Firefox can be configure to open up a box which allows you to delete your cookies, temporary internet files, cache, history and so on as soon the user exits Firefox. This feature is not found in IE.
4. Firefox has a session restore feature which allow users to revert back to the sites that the users are surfing even after a power loss without losing any data. IE doesn’t.
5. Firefox loads web pages faster compare to IE. IE sometimes have error messages for scripting error while Firefox seem to be able to handle scripting problems and load web pages smoothly
6. Firefox come in many languages. You name it, Chinese, English French german, Japanese, konrean and more…
7.Firefox can be personalized to the way you want it to behave.
+Extensions and themes can be downloaded from https://addons.mozilla.org/
+Firefox can be hacked to suit your way of surfing the internet. This is done by typing "about:config" into the address bar.
8. Last but not least, this blog is best viewed with firefox.
Winner: Mozilla Firefox
StumbleUpon is a web browser plugin that allows its users to discover and rate webpages, photos, videos, and news articles. Well...when you're bored just click "stumble!" and a site appears. Who knows you might find something interesting. Many people say it's quite addictive as you might want to stumble upon more sites as it gets interesting. I agree with that too.
I have download the toolbar just for easy use. The toolbar is available for both Internet Explrer 7.0 and Mozilla Firefox. Get the toolbar here.
Here are some sites which i have stumbled upon....
http://musicovery.com/
This site lets you play music from all genres, from jazz to classical to rap to pop and many others. Besides that you can restrict the music to a certain period of time, for example from the 80s to 90s. You can also choose your mood of music.
