Firefox 3..June 17th

Bube · 06-15-2008, 10:22 AM

I was wondering when it was going to come out, and saw this on the mozilla main page. I really don't know what the changes are, but a newer version is almost always better

I have that date marked on my calendar, actually. I have Lifehacker.com on my google reader RSS feed, it's pretty good for alerting you to things like that.

Firefox 3 is going to be great, me thinks. They've fixed over 300 memory leaks, made it more secure, faster, and just a lot of new, nifty features.

Yeah, I pledged for download day about a week ago and I'm excited it is so soon...

I thought about doing that, but I'm just not comfortable with using a product that has a "beta" label on it, even if it is the same thing

How much money would it cost me to change your mind?

The first question should be, "do you want to change my mind?"

If the answer is yes, then I'll change my mind with whatever money you have in your pocket right now.

Yeah but I'd rather help Mozilla get in the record books and wait until Tuesday

Though the Spore CC will absorb any time spent playing with the browser.

Well, I think Firefox 3 just went live.

However, the millions of people trying to download it are causing the page not to load for me.

birdman · 06-17-2008, 01:50 PM

Gah! I want to get my Firefox 3 on!

Jonbo298 · 06-17-2008, 02:23 PM

I guess they forgot to increase server capacity. I wants it too.

*edit* It got normal for a moment and I was able to download it. For some reason the file says 2.0 but yet it seems ot be Firefox 3..makes no sense.

*edit2* I 'installed' it. Nope, it's still Firefox 2 up. I guess Mozilla must not be wanting that world record very much.

Aladuf · 06-17-2008, 02:31 PM

Bah! I want this.. NAO!

Hard to be miffed when I've had Firefox 3 for two months, lol.

I've toyed with it but I've been content with FF2 until FF3 went fully official and my extensions all still functioned fine. Not so much miffed, just strange that Mozilla's servers weren't prepared for the onslaught
