With more than 8 million downloads in 48 hours, Firefox 3.5 continues to carve Cruppers Microsoft Internet Explorer.
Less than 48 hours after its release, Mozilla Firefox 3.5 has surpassed 8.5 million downloads if one believes the counter in real time WORLDWILDE Firefox Download. A nice score even if Mozilla did not reach the performance achieved with Firefox 3.0 in June 2008, with 8.2 million downloads in 24 hours, had earned his navigator in the book of Guinness Book ever record equaled since.
According to the agency analyzes Stat Counter Global Stat, Firefox has gained 2% share in the U.S. market browsers since the launch of the new version. Firefox now holds 31.8% of the market in the United States and 30.7% in the world. “This new version increases the pressure on Microsoft Internet Explorer in the browser war,” says Aodhan Cullen, StatCounter leader. Redmond’s browser (versions 6, 7 and 8 combined), however, occupies approximately 60% of the market.
Eagerly awaited Firefox 3.5 is innovative in many respects. The most visible is a private browsing mode that erases the traces left by the user during mops online. The browser also offers a new management of windows and tabs with, among others, the arrival of a new button to add a tab. The integration of multimedia elements of HTML 5 can now happen plug-in (primarily Flash) to view videos (provided that the site visited has adapted its applications for the new language).
Invisible to the user, the major change in Firefox 3.5 is the arrival of Trace Monkey, the new JavaScript engine that accelerates the performance of online applications. This enables Mozilla to catch up on this issue on Google Chrome which has directed its office development on this feature.
With the advent of the online software on demand (SAAS), the performance of applications has become strategic for browsers that mutate to a runtime environment where the user is less dependent on its system operation to work, communicate, entertain, etc.
I think that now, we can’t even compare IE and Firefox, the only thing that keeps people to use IE is that they found it installed in Microsoft Windows ..
Personally, I use IE for just one thing : Downloading Firefox.
I think also that Chrome is a very promising navigator .. quite new and don’t support many things (such as WYSIWYG editors and RSS feeds) , but in the future it will be great.
IE is already beaten by firefox for sure…the ad-ons make firefox more friendly to the user
nice blog.. liked it very much….can someone give me some other related blog address..???ne ways appreciated..!!!
Nice Blogs. Thanks for shearing this blogs.
When each browser operating system was put to the test eight times out of ten, FireFox beat the competition by a long shot. In fact Internet Explorer ranked as one of the slowest browsers that is still on the market. Internet Explorer was set up so that it would go against each of the other browsers in the competition, and each time it failed. The tests were set up so that each one of the browsers were performing the identical task, so there is no denying that FireFox is by far the better and more efficient browser.
It is without question, Mozilla Firefox is a far superior Web browser to Internet Explorer at this point and continues to gain even more popularity with each new release.
