If you REALLY didn't care, wouldn't you download it regardless of whether or not your were contributing to a record?

STILL NOT FEELIN IT LOL UR HUNG LEIK A NOTHING

Edit: Moving back on the topic, here are two very good reasons to upgrade to FF3:

New features: http://www.webmonkey.com/blog/Why_You_Should_Download_Firefox_3_Right_Now
Smaller memory footprint: http://www.webmonkey.com/blog/Firefox_3_Trounces_IE__Opera_and_Safari_in_Memory_Tests and http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20080317-firefox-3-goes-on-a-diet-eats-less-memory-than-ie-and-opera.html

I was very surprised when I saw that FF3 is beating Opera now.  Most impressive!

Anyone download it yet? It's supposedly been available for an hour and 25 minutes according to my computer's clock. However, the site still wants me to download the 2.0.0.14 install, despite the pages being FF3 related. http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/?p=downloadday

Edit: It's up and working now!


EDIT: FUCKING DOWNLOADED AND INSTALLED!

downloaded, installed. Fucking damn it, I miss my plugins and theme. This version behaves just as fast as v2 for me. meh, i might go switch back to 2 until the plugins are made compatible with 3.

Downloaded and installed, the size of the address and search bars is annoying me though. Argh.

minefield was fine, but FF3 release disappointed me.. I can't help but feel that more work was needed to be done before its release. (compatibility issues, not making my winamp and computer stutter when there's it's trying to load a page with no internet connection.) Hopefully all will be well in the next few updates. I think i'll wait.

Wow, FF3 pulled almost 4.5 million downloads -- over 2 million of which in the US alone -- and download day isn't even over yet.  Yikes.

I've been using it since 3.0b5 and haven't had any slowdown issues with it.  If anything, it's been considerably faster and more system-friendly than FF2, even on my P4-2.8.

So, uh...I DUNO WUT UR PROB IS NIGGA BUT I AIN'T GETTIN NUN.
