To celebrate the release of Firefox version 3, I thought I would provide you with a list of interesting articles and a download of FireFox 3 - Revealed courtesy of Sitepoint.com.

First up, get the most out of Firefox 3 — with this FREE eBook from sitepoint.com!

Next up, webmonkey (yes, they are back!) has a great article on Why You Should Download Firefox 3 Right Now

Last, LifeHacker speed tested the 4 major browsers (Opera 9.5, Safari for windows 3.1.1, Firefox v3 RC3, IE 7) to see which was the fastest in 3 major categories: startup time, Javascript & CSS, and memory use. Speed Testing the Latest Web Browsers

Regardless of which browser you find to be your favorite, the fact that all the major browser vendors are updating their browsers to better support CSS, HTML standards and Javascript will surely make our lives as developers easier and more efficient!
