Today is supposedly Firefox 3 download day

I think they've ****** it up.

Not surprised.

 

Is that the Clint Eastwood film ?

Sequel-tastic

 

You must think like a russian nt

 

I sometimes walk like an Egyptian nt

 

Why have they ****** it up? It starts at 6pm for us.

 

But what a **** time to start it. Announce the worldwide date, but pick a release time zone, so far behind most of the world. There have been loads complaining on the mozilla site. It is a bit of a **** up.

 

Also

If you go to mozilla or the firefox website, there is no mention of firefox 3, the release date or anything. It just says download firefox 2 now.

 

also...

When you go to mozilla, the firefox download link is:</p>

http://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-2.0.0.14&amp;os=win&lang;=en-GB</p>

With a little bit of guessing, you get: </p>

http://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-3.0&amp;os=win&lang;=en-GB </p>

No guarantees that this is the final release version though.</p>

Edit, just found this page:</p>

ftp://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/3.0/index.html </p>

 

Just got the e-mail from firefox

and the link takes me to a page where I can download Firefox 2

 

sounds about right

I'm trying to download it now but can i B*ll*cks get the page to load.

 

I think the server has just crashed nt

 

Http/1.1 Service Unavailable nt

 

The Uk download wasnt available until 6pm

It was based on a 'world clock'

 

Download Opera instead - much better

... he says in IE7.

 

whats so amazing about this? its a browser right?

i downloaded firefox before and it pissed me off no end... whats so good about it?

 

Basically, it's not IE

I really am surprised about how many on here use it though.

 

so its just a protest at microsoft?

if so thats ridiculous, i bet they are all using windows.

and internet explorer never crashes, whats wrong with it?

i just dont get it.

 

You can get it

No

Its a better browser IMHO.

Last edition was a bit slow at times hopefully this new version will sort out that.

 

It is simply a worthy project

It is an open source project. Anyone with programming knowledge can download, view and amend the source code. to customise it to their own ends. They can submit bug fixes to the project administrators and release modifications to appearance and functionality as plugins. As a result you get a customisable, skinnable, feature-packed browser for nothing. You are not reliant on the responsiveness of a software firm for security fixes and new functionality. Indeed new features repeatedly been added and then subsequently been copied by the proprietary browsers. </p>

Try it and if you don't like it, uninstall it. You got it for nothing and no-one loses out if you decide it isn't for you. I've used it for years. Personally I love it and will continue to use it, both from the perspective of it being a good browser and from the perspective of supporting the open-source development model.</p>
