Firefox 3 Available Early, But Don't Do It! Don't Download Early!

Iria · Jun 17, 2008, 04:29 PM

Typical of Firefox releases, a number of sites have begun leaking downloads to Firefox 3 (final). Naturally people will rush to these downloads and start downloading, as most of us are impatient. I say: don't do it! Why not, you may ask?

Well, don't you want to see Mozilla set a Guinness Book of World Records record?

RC2 and RC3 are the same as Final on Windows and Linux, RC3 is the same as the Final on MAC.

But remember to download it anyway :P

I've signed up but I haven't got the DL link and the site is taking long to respond :P

I have it, but won't be using it personally as none of the plugins I use (Download Statusbar, Foxmarks, or Adblock Plus) work with it yet.

Foxmarks and Adblock Plus work fine in version 3.

Really? I tried it on a new machine today, and neither would work. Guess I'll have another look at it.
