Firefox 3.0 Released Today


Firefox 3.0 is being officially released to the public today. I've only just installed it, so I haven't had a chance to really dig into the new features yet.

Lifehacker
has an article about the top 10 new features in Firefox 3.0. My favorite one so far is the "Smart Location Bar":

"Like a personal assistant who telepathically knows when you're going to need just the right phone number (or Starbucks fix), Firefox 3's address bar, now dubbed the Smart Location Bar, helps you get to your frequently visited, or recently discovered, sites in super-quick fashion. That application you just read about on Lifehacker, but can't remember the name? Type "li" into your address bar, and Firefox instantly pulls the relevant sites from your history. The bar also learns through repetition, so the next time you start searching with "li," it knows you're looking for Lifehacker, not Linux."
