From cnn.com “NEW YORK (AP) — The new version of the Firefox Web browser has become available as a free download.
Mozilla has been developing Firefox 3 for nearly three years and has been publicly testing it since November.
Tuesday’s release was delayed as visitors checking for the update overloaded Firefox’s Web servers.
The site was slow or unreachable for about two hours starting about 12:45 p.m. Eastern time, 15 minutes before the scheduled release time, according to AlertSite, an Internet performance monitoring company.
Performance improved later in the day.
Firefox supporters organized launch parties around the world as they tried to set a world record for most software downloads in a 24-hour period.
I think what the market share that firefox has gained in last 2 years is phenomenal. IE used to be like 97% of the market but now it is trailing from 70-80. Congratulations Firefox team.
