Newest version of popular web browser officially released

Now I have to get it... look at those eyes!
Mozilla has launched the 3rd full release of its flagship web browser, Firefox.

Designed by a community of open-source coders and designers, this newest iteration includes a number of new features, such as a revamped UI and more security protection, as well as the usual avalanche of bug fixes.

Firefox supporters organised launch parties around the world as they tried to set a world record for most software downloads in a 24-hour period.

The category is new, and Guinness World Records must certify it, a process that could take a week or longer.

Mozilla's servers were overloaded at launch time due to the number of users attempting to download the software.

The Firefox web browser is the second most popular in the world, second only to Microsoft's well-entrenched Internet Explorer.
