Final version ready soon

At last, RC2 has been released. Mozilla, the parent organisation, is hoping to have the final release ready within a couple of weeks. I have to admit that I like Firefox 3. I’ve been running RC1 for a while now. There are still some bugs; one that really annoys me is the browser closing for no apparent reason. Hopefully all the bugs will be ironed out.

Mozilla is hoping to set a new world record for downloads when the final version is ready for release. The company is actively urging users to download the updated version in order to break the record for software download figures over a 24 hour period.

Firefox usage is growing, albeit slowly. Figures for March suggest that the installation base accounted for about 28.8% of internet browsers although this figure jumped to 30.1% over the weekend.

Browser wars II - who will win? I know where I’m putting my money.
