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.

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.

Firefox 3.0.5 About rights

Just noticed Firefox updated to 3.0.5 on my Windows Vista installation. It consists of mainly stability improvements and security issues fixed.

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.
