Only an hour to go until Firefox 3

[LTR]

http://developer.mozilla.org/devnews/index.php/2008/06/17/firefox-3-available-today-at-1700-utc-10am-pdt/

This morning at 10:00am UTC we began the process of sending the final version of Firefox 3 to our mirror network to prepare for Download Day. We’re just as excited as you are for our upcoming release, but we’re still putting the finishing touches on Firefox 3: preparing the new mozilla.com website, getting our severs ready for downloads, and doing our final pre-launch checks. We expect to be done at 17:00 UTC - find out what time that is where you are. You can even follow our progress if you’d like!

The files in the FTP directories of our mirrors are - for now - only meant to be used by our testers. We would appreciate it if our fans didn’t follow direct links there that they might see on sites like Digg, Reddit, or Neowin. Downloading them directly can harm our ability to distribute Firefox efficiently, and will also not be counted as part of our attempt to set a Guiness World Record for the most software downloads in a day.

If you’d like to be notifed the minute that we launch, please go to sign up for Download Day. Or just head over to getfirefox.com on Tuesday, June 17th at 17:00 UTC.

I've been using a release candidate for a few weeks. Works good, but it does seem to eat some memory. Evidently, they're supposed to correct that. It does have a few new bells and whistles, but I can't wait until some of the add-ons catch up. Most, such as NoScript, Wikipedia lookup, Download Helper, IE Tab and Scribefire have been updated.

1. Just downloaded it

Mozilla's site seems to have crashed, but Softpedia has the final version:

I just installed it, and it seems to be working very well. Better than the release candidates.

4. I tried getting it from there. It downloaded in like 2 seconds and was corrupt when I tried to open

:(

8. Yeah, I tried from there as well, but didn't bother since it didn't download the whole thing.

No way would 7MB take 2 seconds to download.

3. I've been using the beta version for a few weeks.

Going to download the final version now. :thumbsup:

Finding it hard to find a download site that works, so I'll wait.

5. Going to wait

for a few days before I give it a shot.

I doubt it will replace Camino though.

6. Just installed it

All of the extensions and add-ons I really care about have been updated. It's working great. It's noticeably faster.

7. Who's starring in it?

I mean, Clint Eastwood's a little old, right?

Oh... wait...

Nevermind.
