Firefox 3 ; installed on Day 1

Firefox Jun 19, 2008

The latest version of my browser-of-choice came out this very day. So I backed up my bookmarks and download the brand new Firefox 3. Installed just fine on both the Windows boxes; PC and Laptop.

Most of my add-ons either migrated over or had new versions that pretty much installed themselves. I noted during the day that new versions of some more of the extensions were updated, so the developers were busy. The bookmarks came over just fine.

First impressions: it seems faster. I also like the Tags feature, where you can add your own descriptive Tags (Keywords) to your individual bookmarks. So I can add a Tag of “AussieNews” to my The Age newspaper and The ABC News web site’s bookmarks. Later on I can look at all my bookmarks tagged AussieNews.
