[Shadow703793]

Ok, first sorry for posting it in this section. Had to post here since it's the most popular section .

----------

**Note that you can run both FireFox 3 and FireFox 2 side by side. If you know a certain website/application has problems with FireFox 3(and not FireFox 2) you can still download FireFox3 and run it under a different program folder (ie FF_3,etc).

Not that many people pledged in Africa...

I read this before, but why can't Mozilla just make the download mandatory? That way will surely give you a ton of downloads.

That would get away from the spirit behind things. Forcing people to download it to beat a record? Thats pretty shady if you ask me. I'm curious to see how improved it truly is.

 

[Evilonigiri]

Ah, good point. I was thinking of that and you just confirmed it.

Anyways, hopefully things will speed up. Perhaps TGH will get a boost? :lol:

They say that Opera 9.5 is the fastest, but I still love Firefox with all its addons, etc.

I tried Opera before, but I feel more comfortable with Firefox. Come on, who doesn't like a ball circumscribed in a flaming fox? 'Sides, Opera reminds me of some TV show...

opera reminds me of overstock.com for some reason

So much for downloading it. Site has been unresponsive now for a few minutes. Going to take a while to get in and download.

 

[chise1]

Yeah it's pretty painful to try to get in for a download... Maybe in 20 hours the traffic'll go down ...

Im not seeing anything other then rc3 on the official site? Is rc3 the official firefox 3?

 

[San Pedro]

I guess too many people are downloading it or something.

 

[xBruce88wXx]

i haven't even got my notification email saying it was ready, although i already know. site has been unresponsive since 1pm est.

 

[baddad]

You would think they would have no problem handling the traffic, and I've seen nothing released yet.

Been using Firefox for quite a while and currently using the 3.0 beta. No way I am going back with IE and I didn't like opera either so Go Fox Go

 

[major_error]

site's probably swamped trying to send out the 900 thousand notification emails....and then there's all the people flocking to the website for a link >.>

Mozilla's website has a link that says download Firefox 3, but it's build 2.0.0.14. The alternative site, getfirefox.com must be inundated, because it won't load.

[nachowarrior]

i tried to download, and like a few other people i got the incorrect version
so i manually modified the address bar to get what i wanted (just took a WILD* guess) here it is

http/www.mozilla.com/en-US/products/download.html?product=firefox-3.0&os=win&lang=en-US

win xp x64 is what i am running at the moment and the link originally looked like this....
http/www.mozilla.com/en-US/products/download.html?product=firefox-2.0.0.14&os=win&lang=en-US'

i posted a thread on it as well titled firefox 3 error fixed.
