Firefox 3 by Mozilla Officially Released
Mozilla officially issued the third major release of its Firefox Web browser today. Firefox 3 includes tens of thousands of bug fixes, some performance enhancements, and a few new security features. But if you've been eagerly waiting for the final release, you may have to cool your heels.
Firefox 3 also provides easy access to information on any site you visit: Just click on the site's icon to the left of the site's address in the URL bar, and up pops a green icon resembling either a policeman or a crossing guard, I can't tell which. Anyway, green guy tries to offer a bit more data on the site you're visiting. This is obviously more useful when you want to check whether you're really at your bank's Web site or a clever fake. But the added information only pops up for sites that have secured somewhat pricey Extended Validation (EV) certificates, which turn the address bar green.
