The new version of the popular open source web browser has attracted considerable attention and is already seeing rapid adoption. It was downloaded over 5 million times during the first 24 hours. This falls short of the record-setting 8 million downloads that Firefox 3 had during its first day, but it still reflects the intense enthusiasm of the browser’s fans.

Firefox’s popularity has rapidly climbed over the past few years, bringing it up to between 20-30 percent of the global browser market, according to various Web analytics firms.

One of the harbingers of the open Web renaissance is HTML 5, the next major version of the W3C’s ubiquitous HTML standard. Although HTML 5 is still in the draft stage, several of its features have already been widely adopted by browsers like Safari, Chrome, and Firefox. Among the most compelling is the “video” element, which has the potential to free Web video from its plugin prison and make video content a native first-class citizen on the Web—if codec disagreements don’t stand in the way.
