Page 3 of 3 According to Net Applications, Firefox 3's web share peaked at 4.3 percent during the record attempt, but subsequently slipped back into the 3 percent range. This could reflect a natural ebb and flow due to Firefox's varying popularity in different time zones - it's unusual to measure a browser's popularity over such short intervals. Key features of Firefox 3 include a 'smart' location bar which adapts to user preferences, page display that's two to three times faster than Firefox 2, security improvements, and an add-ons manager. In all, more than 15,000 improvements have been made. Firefox 3 is available for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux from Mozilla's GetFirefox site.
