| Firefox 3 beta offers secure, easy Web browsing |

 Web developers can now download Firefox 3 Beta 1 to test more than 30 new features in the popular open-source browser released from Mozilla Nov. 19.
With Internet browsers, security, ease of use and performance typically top users' wish lists.
To wit, Firefox 3 employs a button in the location bar that lets users see who owns the site. This is crucial at a time when bogus sites serve as pitfalls for unsuspecting Web users.
New malware protection warns users when they arrive at sites that are known to install viruses, spyware, Trojans or other bad code. Moreover, Firefox will inform anti-virus software when downloading executables.
The browser beta boasts clearer and stricter error pages when Firefox encounters an invalid SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) certificate. Extended validation SSL certificate information will be displayed in later versions.
