Firefox 3.0: First Thoughts

The new Firefox final release is slated to be officially released today at 10am pst (1pm est.) If you are incredibly anxious, you can download it now, but it will be slated as "Firefox 3.0 RC3" not the official release. Adrian from ZDNet had a good "first thoughts" article on his favorite new features. Here's a breakdown:

• Pretty new GUI - See screenshot above.
  
• Improved password manager - Asks if you want to save the password after you successfully log in!
• Improved download manager - Supports resumable downloads.
• Intuitive address bar - See a screen shot here.
• Beefed up security - Integrated phishing, virus, and porn protection!
• Über fast - Firefox 3.0 is now the fastest browser, with one of the smallest memory footprints.
