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 :)

Yes, but a pretty good one. :)

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? ;)

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.

: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.

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:
Ahem.... a. If they didn't, then how did I know it starts at 18:00 in London? And yes, I'm not working in Mozilla b. Since when is Europe "the majority of the world"? c. wtf? O_o And btw, they wanted to set a world record. They said the start time according to their offices, to the server location, and probably according to the time in the place that the record will be recorded in. What's with all the bitching anyway. The told you the time - be patient and wait =/
