FireFox 3 Released
… and I can’t open the website (one of them at least: mozilla.org) to get it, I get this: Http/1.1 Service Unavailable
I’m sure they are being simply overwhelmed - FireFox is of course one of the best coded browsers available, and is rapidly eating into the IE share of the browser market. I hope that version 3 is as good or better than version 2 has been.
I’ll keep on trying to get it tonight though, add to the record number of downloads that MSNBC is reporting this will achieve.
Update: (18th June) Ok so I finally downloaded FireFox 3. First impressions as pretty much as Corey mentioned - the menu bar thing is a bit annoying and a tad slow. Also, it seems to have (strangely) altered the order in which they appeared from FF2.
Nice layout although little changed. The folders that I have on my main toolbar at the top don’t seem to respond as fast as they did in FF2.

Since Ubuntu Hardy Heron shipped with FF3, I’ve been using it daily since Beta 4. Its got a lot of things on previous browsers, and its not crashy like the previous developer versions. As a matter of fact, since RC1, its been solid. The only thing that I don’t like is the “typeaheadfind” feature of the address bar. Its a bit sluggish.
It was recoded for Ubuntu right away, for a change, so I have the final. Nanner nanner nanner! Apparently Netcraft (the AUTHORITY on website uptime) has noticed the outage as well. Its news, of sorts.
So it’s definately worth it?
I tried getting to the site last night but it was constantly busy, so I thought I’d wait until tonight or this weekend.
