Whether an inspired piece of product awareness or a stunt credit where credit is due.

This is some achievement.  Also in stark contrast to the much slower uptake of Internet Explorer 7 despite the fact that the latter was/is an automatic Microsoft update.

Just for the record Firefox 3 is superb and as soon as the great people/person behind colorzilla update their extension it will be perfect.

Update the Colorzilla update for firefox 3 just came through and has now been installed on this computer. Thank you Colorzilla people!
