The new version is based on Gecko 1.9, a web rendering platform that has been in development for 34 months.<\/p>\n<p>To celebrate the release of Firefox 3, Mozilla announced&nbsp; Firefox Download Day 2008, an effort set a Guinness World Record for the most downloads of a software application in 24 hours. A web site was created to host the event and encourage participation on a local level. As of Friday, over one million pledges across the world were recorded.<\/p>\n<p>The Force Field will participate in Firefox Download Day 2008 with a launch party. A page and forum will be available at TheForceField.net to download and discuss the new browser the day before the launch.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.spreadfirefox.com\/en-US\/worldrecord\"><\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.spreadfirefox.com\/sites\/all\/themes\/spreadfirefox_RCS\/images\/download-day\/buttons\/en-US\/468x60_dday.png\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Download Day 2008\" title=\"Download Day 2008\" \/><\/div>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/theforcefield.tradepub.com\/free\/epr\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Free Subscription\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"images\/ads\/electronic%20products%20magazine.jpg\" alt=\"Electronic Products Magazine\" title=\"Free Subscription\" width=\"480\" height=\"160\" \/><\/a> <\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(TheForceField.Net ) June 13, 2008 &#8212; Firefox 3.0, the next incarnation of the popular and powerful web browser from The Mozilla Foundation, is scheduled for official release Tuesday, June 17, 2008.
