Firefox 3 Beta 3

I hate being sick, and I don’t want to spread the cold to other people. I have pretty much sequestered myself at home and do everything through the internet and the phone. I’m lucky enough to have FiOS available in my area and it has been great. The upload speed is much better than any services I ever had at home.

Anyway, I forgot to mention that Firefox 3 Beta 3 is officially out on Tuesday February 12th, 2008. Find out more about Firefox 3 Beta 3, and meet the robot!

Mozilla Firefox 3 Beta 3 is available for multiple Operating Systems including Linux, Mac and Windows.
