Firefox 3.1 has been released to the public as a beta version. The version has a few new features being the ability to swap between tabs using control+tab, drag and drop tabs between Firefox windows, view Ogg format video’s without plugins and Control the Smart Location Bar. Not much has changed in the GUI department as well as general functionality, though do be warned, most add-ons are not supported at this stage of the release.
The new beta can be downloaded here for Windows, Mac, and Linux. For non US English users, note that not all languages are available (no Greek, Turkish, British English etc).

Linux and even more so Mac have Windows Vista to thanks for the drop in world computer control the Microsoft operating system (OS) has. Mac has risen from 6.8% market share in November 2007 to 8.23% in September 2008, whilst Linux has risen from 0.57% to 0.91% over the same period. With this trend in mind, Mac and Linux (Ubuntu is to release its new version in 25 days) could well move into 10% and 1% receptively by year end.
