Mozilla Firefox has finally crossed the 1 billion download mark. With Version 0.1 being released way back in 2002, Firefox has come a long way. It has evolved over the years adding new useful features to its ever-growing list: tabbed browsing, themes, addons, RSS feed support and so on. Its latest version, Firefox 3.5, was recently released and includes private browsing, recovering recently closed tabs, open video, location aware browsing, etc. Firefox is the second most used browser worldwide and holds about 30% of the market share.

As we all know by now, Windows 7 E will ship without a browser in Europe due to legal issues. OEMs will provide browsers on CDs/DVDs or by any other means, but this will remain to be a hassle for European users of Windows 7.

Just noticed Firefox updated to 3.0.5 on my Windows Vista installation. It consists of mainly stability improvements and security issues fixed. After the update installed, I saw an infobar appear right under the tabs which told me to check out my rights. Unluckily, I couldn’t capture that, and have been unable to make it reappear, but it’s interesting none the less, to read what the about:rights page has to say.
