Been waiting on it for awhile. For more information, schedule a few hours and visit:

..... but this part got my attention:

..as most applications render text on-screen very badly. Evidently, this is no longer an issue with Firefox 3.

It will be available today (June 17th) at 10AM PDT according to the website.

I've been using FF3 since April - first in Beta 5 and now in RC1. I like it. It seems faster than FF2.

 

[97tbird]

so it is "officially" FF 3 now?
why didn't I get an update prompt?

can I just go ahead and get FF3?

any of you who got FF3 notice any issues?

Kinda busy over at Mozilla.com now:
"Http/1.1 Service Unavailable"

I downloaded it about an hour ago. No issues. Slightly different look on some of the icons but so far it doesn't appear to be much different. Still exploring though.

 

[ToyotaNSaturn]

I just grabbed it from FileHippo.com, seems to be quicker than FF 2.

 

[97tbird]

did your old theme work with FF3?

 

[NJC]

Just downloaded it. It is WAAY faster than the POS IE6.

 

[ToyotaNSaturn]

No themes transferred over. FireFTP and PDF Download however did update nicely to FF 3.

Note this is on my work machine - I don't run IE at home.

Managed to snag a quick download on work laptop. Installed OK. Haven't noticed any speed increase. Some changes in appearances but nothing real drastic. I burned the install exe to a CD in case the servers crash again later. Will install on 3 home machines tonight.

I emerged it last night. Seems to work well.

THIS TIME I'm just saying no until all themes, settings, extensions, add-ons, sex-ups, tools, etc are updated and configured to operate on FF3.

What is a sex-up and why are you saying no to it?

Just installed FF3 and the first page I went to, my PC rebooted.. I had just installed the new version of openoffice, too... anyhow, I removed FF3 and re-installed 2.4 and its working fine.
