Today marks the release of the third version of the Firefox browser. This is the first major release of the browser since October 2006. The final version was preceded by several beta releases, as well as three pre-release versions (although initially only one was planned).
June 17th has been declared the "Download Day" for the browser. The Mozilla Corporation encourages all Firefox users, as well as those who are just planning to join them, to download the program today. The goal of this campaign is to set a record for the number of downloads on the first day of its distribution and get into the Guinness Book of World Records.
According to Mozilla, there are currently over 175 million Firefox users worldwide. More than 1.3 million of them have already pledged to download the browser today, marking their participation on a specially created map for this purpose.
Firefox 3 features a new version of the Gecko 1.9 engine, which contains over 15,000 improvements compared to the previous version. The program focuses on security: information about how dangerous a site is is now more noticeable, integration with the antivirus in the file download module has been improved, version checking of unsafe plugins has been improved, and protection against malicious modules and SSL errors on web pages has been enhanced.
Many new features are related to simplifying access to commands. In particular, password management, plugin installation, and the download manager now include the ability to pause and resume downloads, and integration with Windows Vista and Mac OS X has been improved. It is also worth noting the ability to scale an entire page, quick search through bookmarks and browsing history, and more convenient settings for downloading files by type.
Developers also note changes in the HTML rendering engine, which provides improved CSS support, color profile management, improved font and graphic element rendering.
You can Download Firefox 3 from here.

O God of Earth and Altar,
Bow down and hear our cry,
Our earthly rulers falter,
Our people drift and die,
The walls of gold entomb us,
The swords of scorn divide,
Take not thy thunder from us,
Take away our pride.
G.K. Chesterton: English Hymnal

The swords of scorn divide,
Take not thy thunder from us,
Take away our pride.
