So, who has downloaded Firefox 3 yet?

Sign in to disble this ad
It's Firefox download day today, Firefox 3 is finally out!

They are trying to set a world record for most downloads in 24hrs.

I've been an avid Firefox user since version 1.5, I just finished downloading version 3 and so far it looks good. But the www.mozilla.com website is dead slow, I guess many people are trying to download now.

Firefox - Yay!
IE - Nay!

W00t, I have been looking forward to this - in a completely sad and geeky way.

Edit: not overly keen on the new aesthetic, it's a bit unrefined.

I've been trying to download it, but the site seems very busy. I'll try again in a bit.

Be aware that some plugins might not work anymore, e.g. the Real Player Browser Record plugin doesn't.

I'm all in favor of anything that breaks Real Player.











That said it'll be "interesting" to see what still works and what doesn't.

P.S. Real Player is almost as bad as iTunes and Quicktime, imo

Hehe... silly Firefox users... needing extra plugins for proper protection.

<_<

In all honesty, I love FF. Use it all the time as well.

Yup, AdBlock Plus works just fine with FF3.
