Firefox 3 will launch on June 17!

Firefox vs. Windows Vista, Part 4: The Quickening

Hello, my name is Paul. I've been using Firefox 3 crash-free for exactly one week now.

Questions and comments about Firefox 3, IE 8, the future of Web browsers, cloud computing, and how it all comes together

So it's always amusing to me when the mainstream press tries to cover tech products, but I was particularly interested in this one since I'm in the middle of writing my own Firefox 3 review. I think that terms like "innovative" are thrown around too casually these days, and while I...
