Firefox 3 Day 2This morning, Mozilla's Spread Firefox site is reporting nearly 11,000,000 downloads of Firefox 3, including over 8,000,000 during Download Day itself. Further, they're claiming a browser market share of "around four percent at the end of Download Day." From the looks of it here, they may be doing better than that. Our own ChannelWeb visitor statistics show Mozilla 3 (including beta versions) jumping up over 10% of our total this morning. How is Firefox doing otherwise? At the Red Ferret Journal, Nigel is overjoyed: "The beauty of it is that the 15,000 small things that improve it really do add value, they’re not just there for feature bloat or to show off. Get it. At InformationWeek, they're concerned about the lack of focus on enterprise features: "'It's just one more app to support,' Ericksen VP of technology David Pluke said in an e-mail. He just hasn't seen any compelling reason to switch from Internet Explorer or add support for Firefox... [Though] Boeing and Fidelity Investments are among the companies that support or encourage Firefox use." A security exploit has already been discovered (though it affected earlier verions, as well). While at Lifehacker, they've already put together a whole batch of extensions and tips for using Firefox 3.
