What’s New in Firefox 3:
The Web is all about innovation, and Firefox 3 sets the pace with  
dozens of new features to deliver a faster, more secure and  
customizable Web browsing experience for all.

User Experience. The enhancements to Firefox 3 provide the best  
possible browsing experience on the Web. The new Firefox 3 smart  
location bar, affectionately known as the “Awesome Bar,” learns as  
people use it, adapting to user preferences and offering better  
fitting matches over time. The Firefox 3 Library archives browsing  
history, bookmarks, and tags, where they can be easily searched and  
organized. One-click bookmarking and tagging make it easy to  
remember, search and organize Web sites. The new full-page zoom  
displays any part of a Web page, up close and readable, in seconds.

Performance. Firefox 3 is built on top of the powerful new Gecko 1.9  
platform, resulting in a safer, easier to use and more personal  
product. Firefox 3 now uses less memory while it’s running, and its  
redesigned page rendering and layout engine means users see Web pages  
two to three times faster than Firefox 2.

Security. Firefox 3 raises the bar for security. The new malware and  
phishing protection helps protect from viruses, worms, trojans and  
spyware to keep people safe on the Web. Firefox 3’s one-click site ID  
information allows users to verify that a site is what it claims to  
be. Mozilla’s open source process leverages the experience of  
thousands of security experts around the globe.

Customization. Everyone uses the Web differently, and Firefox 3 lets  
users customize their browser with more than 5,000 add-ons. Firefox  
Add-ons allow users to manage tasks like participating in online  
auctions, uploading digital photos, seeing the weather forecasts, and  
listening to music, all from the convenience of the browser. The new  
Add-ons Manager helps users to find and install add-ons directly from  
the browser.
