Firefox 3.0.7: Release is available now

The Web is all about innovation, and Firefox 3 sets the pace with plenty of new features, including the smart location bar, one-click bookmarking and blindingly fast performance.

Mozilla released a security and stability update for Firefox 3.x users on Wednesday, March 4, 2009 at 4:04 pm PT.

As part of the Mozilla Corporation’s ongoing security and stability process, Firefox 3.0.7 is now available for Windows, Mac, and Linux.

It is strongly recommended that all Firefox users upgrade to this latest release. If you already have Firefox 3, you will receive an automated update notification within 24 to 48 hours.

This update can also be applied manually by selecting “Check for Updates…” from the Help menu.
