Firefox 3 Download Day

Download Day 2008 Firefox 3 is expected to release tomorrow, June 17, 2008. The Firefox development team would like to set a world record for most downloads in a day. I've been using Firefox 3 beta and release candidate versions for a month or more and have been pleased with it. It feels faster. It runs well. I was disappointed that the Google toolbar does not support Firefox 3 yet. I've used the Google toolbar to centrally manage my browser bookmarks across multiple computers. Yesterday I found "GMarks", an extension that places my centrally managed Google bookmarks in the Firefox menu bar. It works great, and takes less screen real estate than the Google toolbar.
