Oooo, excellent. No doubt we'll all get pop-up windows when we open firefox on tuesday telling us to upgrade.


"Put on your party hats and get ready to download Firefox 3 — the best web browser, period."
It's called a full stop <_<

I'm excited to see these 15,000 improvements, blinding speed and all the rest. Very, very excited.

Anyone know if FF2 add-ons will carry over, or will I need to go fetch new ones?

[ferrija1]

Most updates will need updated, a few won't, and a few won't work for a few days (like Google Toolbar). I just installed Fx3 RC2, it's quite snappy but it's crashed once.

Awesome!

Signed up for the world record pledge thing.

You've gotta know you're a nerd when you're excited about a web browser release

[ferrija1]

I want to know what the current record is, although I think we'll beat it easily.

FF3 was released at 1 PM Eastern time today. Expect a slow download.

Surprisingly, I downloaded FF 3 more quickly than I would have expected. In fact, I'm running it now!

Peace...

just went to the dl page and it said it was still only 2.0.0.14... can you get v3 yet then?

[Dunko9]

i use Firefox 3.0 now....its full verison. ....new add-on look good....everything fine so far.

[Rivera42]

Just installed FF3 and it's working like a champ. Quick download here, easy install, it opened right away to the pages I'd been viewing in FF2 earlier this PM. It does seem the load time of Web pages is improved, but your mileage may vary.

One thing I noticed is they haven't fixed all of the links on the mozilla site and many do indeed lead to FF2 pages. It was sort of confusing and a little difficult to backtrack.

In any case I find that many of my add-ons are already compatible and working fine, including the weather, my preferred theme and "FoxyMeter." More importantly, ABP and NoScript are compatible and working.

Here is an update on Mozilla.com activity today.

Peace...

[JStergis]

Downloaded...using it now. I was only getting 25 K/sec on the download, but that was expected. I'm happy so far.

I heard they already have over 1.5 million downloads.

I have been using Beta and that was fine. Going to DL when i get off work.
