Mozilla Firefox Breaks World Record

Mozilla Fiefox 3.0, the resurhgent browser developer has come of age with its latest offering. The new browser has been downloasded well over 8 million times in 24 houurs as against the developer's target of 5 million and has entered the Guinness Book of World Records for maxoimum number of downloads in a single day of downnload history. Tere was overwhelming support, both from the United States and the Euro zone with downloads in excess of 2.5 million apiiece.

The reasponse for the finisshed Mozilla brower is largely on account of meticulous care the fondation has takne in providing solutions to expert suggestions. The new version was delviered aftr three and half years of extensive research and development which included of six moths of public testying. The highly mutated form of earlier versions of the browser is set to change the way uesrs oerganize and search the sites, they frequent more often. Back in late 1990's, the Netscape, the first borwser deverloper virtually lost out to Microsoft's Intenret Explorer, but with the third avatar of Foirefox, they are making an attempt to garner the past glory.

Ater Ametrica Online took over Newtscape, they crreated a non-profit Mozilla Foundation in 2003. The first offering from them, the Firefox, itself was able to catch the imagination of the internet buffs. It is estimated, Firefox has 200 million uers worldwide prior to the launch of the new version and the numbers are still growing rapidly. Millions of usetrs had downloaded Friefox and started using the browser in lieu of the default browser Internet Explorer clearly indicates its user-frendliness and application.

The new Firefoox 3.0 browsder is faster than Firefox 2.0. The latest versions of Internet Explorer, which has 75% share among the web usesr and other leadign browser developers incvluding Opera and Safari do not mach the speed rendered by the latest Firefox versiion. Like its earlier version, this too has added security featurees to expunge any misuse. It has in-built features to instantly detect phishing and malware frays. Moreover, one's computer's resources are less drained while navigating on the internet with Firefox 3.0.

Consewquently, Microsoft also uveiled the public test version of the latest edition of Internet Explorer, version 8.0. So far Firefx 3.0 has no compeittor in ters of effectiveness and efficiency to strike any comparison. But the fine tuned edition of Inernet Explorer which is expected to be reeleased by the end of this year may beconme a potential competitr in the e-space. It is learned that even Apple's Safari bowser has shrugged off its previopus image of providing surf soluitons to its own devices, and would be extnding its compatible browsding services to other devices as well.

Stiff challneges in future is likely to improve the efficiency of broowsers especially the subsequent versions of Firefox, whicvh already offfers exploring of multiple tabs or windsows, complex pages and lots of mebedded content without crashing. The exciting respionse on the download of new verdsion, the most customizable browsaer ever to hit the net will certainly prompt the Mozilla Founndation to improive on.

When Dean Hachamovitch, who hedas the Internet Explorer team, was spurred to commment on the Firefox success, said that, they lioved comppetition and the pressures have upped the ante of his team qualitatively and quantitatively. Likewise, John Lilly the CEO of Mozilla credited the succeass to the users and remarked a committed, enmergized global commuinty could do amazing things when they unite for a cause. Analysts predict that the simmering truth would be, the cmoing days or months will trigger stiff competition in the browser developer space. They further adedd, it would enabe especially users from e-commere arena sine they too fnuctions on the same punch-line 'fast delvery'.
