Firefox 3's updates don't take many big leaps. It does feel a little faster, and the "Locations" system has some merits, but if you took it away and gave me back Firefox 2, little would change in my browsing habits.

I look forward to the day when I feel the same kind of browser evolution as when I first switched from Internet Explorer 6 to Firefox 1.

I've been running RC2 for a few weeks, but I really just want the final build.

The differences are indistinguishable for the average user.

That's supposed to stop me from downloading it?

*edit* It's updated finally to be final 3.0 download once it does start the download (control + F5 if it still says 2.0)

Yes.

No. It is just silly to be F5ing the site when its getting slammed if you already have RC2. I understand why users who haven't tried the RC builds would be vying for it, but if you already have FF3 in all by name only, you're okay to go about your business until tomorrow, when you can download it in two minutes easy.

I haven't been F5'ing the site over and over. On the MozillaZine forums it said 3.0 was actually up finally, so I F5'd the site and said 2.0 still. So I ctrl+F5'd it to force a reload of all and it said 3.0 instead of the cache still thinking 2.0

I hope you're not inferring that I'm the average user.

Are you using Ubuntu?

I thought not. Now sit there and be pretty.

Edit: No time for this, need to install 3.

Bet you it does. 3.0.1 will fix it though!!

I wonder if there's going to be any major changes to Camino. I <3 it.

Re: Firefox 3..June 17th
 
Camino always feels like a strange middle-ground between Firefox and Safari to me, but without the major benefits of either.

I really wish I could marry Safari's aesthetics wholesale with the four extensions I really use in FF. What a happy day.

Really? I honestly only use it because it's the fastest-rendering of any Mac browser and Keychain Access rocks. Feature-wise, I don't really feel there's anything missing.

I am posting this from an official Firefox 3 release. Suckas.

Re: Firefox 3..June 17th
 
It is faster than Firefox, but the last Safari update put it even with Camino from my subjective testing. But really, I just love the way Safari looks. Camino sticks out. Firefox 3 made a lot of strides, but its still not quite as slick as Safari.
