After months of testing, Firefox 3 (code name Gran Paradiso) is available for download from Mozilla. With its new Gekko 1.9 engine, the browser renders pages faster and uses fewer system resources overall. As with any new browser, some add-ons created for Firefox 2 may not work, but give them time.

Firefox 3 offers faster rendering, a vastly reduced use of system resources and clever new data-mining tools for your bookmarks and browser history. Most notable is the fact that Firefox 3 includes many built-in security-related features, such as the best-of-breed antiphishing protection, making Firefox the most secure browser on the market today. If you haven't already tried Firefox, what are you waiting for? Firefox 3 remains our Editors' Choice over Microsoft's Internet Explorer and Opera.
