    Firefox 3 Released

    Wednesday, June 18, 2008, 06:32 AM CST [Technology]

    Yesterday was an exciting day for fans of the Mozilla's Firefox web browser.  By varying accounts the latest version of the Firefox browser was downloaded perhaps 5 million times on its first day of release.

    Web browsers have come a long way since the early days of WorldWideWeb and Mosaic and their like.  Gone are the days when you had to optimize multiple layers of embedded tables in order to get Netscape to render your page in a decent amount of time.

    The release of IE8 this year is going to further mix up the playing field for browsers.  Hopefully IE8 will behave quite well so that we won't have to manage CSS for both IE6, IE7 and IE8.  Safari has also been making inroads recently, both on Mac marketshare and on its Windows version..

    Will IE's market share dip below 50%?  Only time will tell...

    The latest stats I've seen put IE (combined versions) at just over 70%, while Firefox is gaining ground at about 18% (27% in Europe). I imagine we will continue to see that gap shrink, though IE8 may prove to help slow it down.
