On Tuesday, the team at Mozilla released Firefox 3, its latest web browser.

As a web designer, I’ll admit it’s difficult trying to design so that web sites look the same in different browsers. In a perfect world, there would be one awesome browser that everyone loved and had incredible features. Of course, that isn’t the case.

Microsoft’s Internet Explorer has the largest market share, not surprisingly, because Windows has the largest share of operating systems on computers across the globe. The problem a lot of designers have with Internet Explorer is it often doesn’t adhere to web standards that, ironically, Microsoft helped create. This leads to hacks and workarounds to make designs work in Internet Explorer. It’s a big headache.

Personally, I recommend Firefox to everyone that I can. It has great features, such as the ability to extend the application with add-ons (one of my favorites is Adblock Plus), and renders web pages much faster than Internet Explorer.

I highly encourage you to check out Firefox 3 today: 13,000,000+ downloads is saying something about this amazing application.
