It's a browser. No, sorry. It's another browser. :zzz:

But this 'another browser' contains the Awesomebar. Your life will change for the better once you have an Awesomebar. I heard it'll tell you how fix all those niggly site bugs if you get the combination of keystrokes.

Yeah, they've ballsed it up by: a. not publicising the time it was due to start. b. starting at least 18 hours into the publicised day for the majority of the world. c. starting it the day after the publicised for anywhere east of India. 10:00 PDT? Great idea guys :doh:

Yes, but a pretty good one. :)

Didn't you know? The centre of the universe has been relocated to Mozilla's servers. (Note, I dunno if they're actually located on the west-coast :) )

Damn, no, I didn't. They've also changed the start of the day to 6pm my time. Not fair. When am I supposed to have my breakfast now?

That's supposed to be today, but their site[^] still says 'Coming soon'. What gives? :^)
Err, I'm using FF3 to post htis: just got it about 10 minutes ago from: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-rc.html[^] It is pitched as Relaease Candidate 3: I preumed that was the correct one as the main page is still showing FF2. Wouldn't make me want to give up IE7/8. It's just another browser.

you know, with the number of pre-release, betas, alpha and what-not, the sense of excitement is not really there. Unless they decided to "hide" a super-duper feature, I don't know why all the hubbub is all about; anyway I will update it when it's available this afternoon.

They seem to be begging for a DDOS attack with this publicity stunt. I use FireFox because it sucks a little less than IE. Color me not that excited.

Final version of FireFox 3 will becoem officially available later today. According to some websites it's identical to RC3. If you download firefox 3 now you won't be part of world record so if it matters you should wait for some time. If not you can already download it.

Amen. In fact, I use it whatever comes with the OS - IE on Windows, Firefox on most Linux distributions. They both suck :)

Firefox is not a good piece of software by my standards (crashes, eats memory, slow...). Granted, it is a little less bad than IE, but still nothing worth the excitement.

From a discussion on a Nokia site Firefox is meant to make use of all the resources available to it, so if you've got the memory it's gonna eat it. Hence why they can't port it to Symbian platforms.

Yeah, what could possibly go wrong with inviting the entire planet to download your software on one day but not having the commercial resources of a large company to make sure it all works properly? ;)

:laugh: Um...do you really think the FireFox people invited the entire world to download on the same day a release candidate?

Well, as a (web-)programmer it is a working tool and I just can't work with IE so I'm pretty happy about it - although the whole date/time debacle of the download day makes them look like idiots.

Sometimes the voting behavior here is ridiculous. Here's a 5.
