Firefox 3 will be released June 17th
Post Date: Jun 12, 2008
Category: Computers
No more "when it's done" answers, the Mozilla Development Team finally set the date: June 17th is the day they're going to release Firefox 3. That's less than a week, folks!

Be sure you all download it on this day, as they want to break the world record of the most software downloads in 24 hours.

              I hope so too, but so far, it's a nono.

              So better back up your current profile, in case you wanna switch back temporarily..

                Well, I think there will be a slight delay, but once it's out and people know it's official, I think they'll start updating them quickly.

                  Downloading isn't necessarily installing, though. So you can download it on the 17th and then install it when all of your extensions have been properly updated. :B

                              Yes, pretty silly to aim for a world record like that when you don't have the bandwidth... -.-

                                  I just downloaded it straight from some folder somewhere that realillusions linked me to. :B This was after 1:15 hours hitting refresh and getting nothing more than the words in the title tags. :lol:

                                    I think I read somewhere that the official timer didn't start until everything was running properly. I guess they weren't expecting so many people to be sitting waiting for the release. Either way, I'm already playing with the skins!!

                                        Well, mozilla.com still only shows me 2.0.0.14 to download. I do have a 3.0 version downloaded, after some fiddling with the direct URL, but I'm not sure if it's the right one.
