Mozilla Firefox

For all you Firefox users out there, Mozilla has just confirmed in an interview with CNET that Firefox 3 will be finalized by June. The latest betas of version 3 have been getting great reviews across the board, especially by Mac users who love the faster load speeds compared to version 2.

“We’re in a phase where we’re letting add-ons get a chance to update,” Schroepfer said. “We like to have RCs (release candidates) out for a while to gather feedback.”

More release candidates are possible, he said. With Firefox 2, there were three. “We’re in better shape this time, but there’s no reason to rush this,” he said.

I am looking forward to the finalized version of what already looks like a solid browser. In the interview, Schroepfer (Mozilla’s VP of engineering) also mentioned that Firefox 3 will be “2 to 3 times faster than the previous version and nearly 10 times faster than IE 7.” Though we’re assuming it’ll still be slower than Safari.

In the meantime, you can grab the latest release candidate from Mozilla’s site.
