Waiting for Official Firefox 3 Release at 10:00am PDT...

Recommended Posts

I am a big FireFox fan.

Has anyone else seen this?
The last couple of weeks, I'm getting Firefox downloads forced on me. It's been very sluggish, and craters overnight. It has me concerned that Microsoft is up to their old tricks (e.g., Netscape tricks).

It still baffles me why they want their servers to be slashdotted.:S



Maybe they have an OC-192 pipe hooked up to acres of servers...:P
So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh
Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright
'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life
Make light!

For me, I noticed some changes when I upgraded to AVG 8.0...I disabled "link-scanner" because it was pissing me off while I would google search...etc.

I've not had any Firefox updates forced on me in a while, and I'm running 2.0.0.14.

Of course, I could be wrong...getting Http/1.1 Service Unavailable

Got a cached page on the fourth attempt...

Are you seriously going to download it today? I will be waiting until you guys have tested it out and the bugs have been fixed.



There's been pre-release "release candidates" out for months now. I'm not too worried about. I'll try downloading later today I think. The servers probably aren't in the mood today...:ph34r:

Considering that the official sites are all slashdiggered, here's a link to one that I got from rapidshare that I freely give to you. But you won't be part of the official record count. But that serves them right for not having the capacity to handle the flood.

204.11.224.12/Firefox_Setup_3.0.exe

I went to the Mozilla site a few minutes ago, sluggish load, but Firefox 3 is only a 7-ish MB file. I guess traffic has eased.

Anyway...it's up and running, and the only immediately noticeable difference (aside from some cosmetic) is the address bar when typing in URLs from sites previously visited and the organization of bookmarks. So far so good...
