yep.

[Sevensins]

isn't the final out Tuesday anyway?

[+JuggerNaut+]

sure is. i'm still running RC2 until tuesday, but figured i'd mention it. not sure why they'd release something so close to the 17th.

[Scourge]

Odd, mine has shown FF 3.0 for a little while now. No RC or anything. Did a manual check for updates. None available.

It may say FF 3.0, but it's still the RC. I'm sure an update will be in order on Tuesday.

it's an RC, no worries.

[Plan B]

So, it's june 17th 2008.
Where's mah spaceship and mah FF update?

Seriously, FF 2.0.0.14 randomly craps out on me, and I hope FF3 will resolve some of that.
Guess I'll try again tomorrow.

[obsidian]

The servers are boggled down with everyone trying to download/update at the same time.

[Plan B]

Hehe, yeah, thought as much.

I'm actually considering going with Opera, though.
Never tried it, but from what I gleam from the thread posted below (or above if it gets bumped) it seems like a nice little, stripped down browser just suiting my spartan browsing needs.

[Plan B]

Ok, never mind all that.
Went directly to the FF European homepage and updated through there.
Downside is that I now have forced upon me the dutch version, but I'll resolve that later.
Really more interested in how stable it is for me...and I'll still give Opera a whirl.

[+JuggerNaut+]

FF3 is VERY stable and is certainly faster than any of the previous versions.

By leaps and bounds and GMail no longer makes it crash. I like it.

[Captain]

Just installed FF3, all the add-ons are working fine. Other than some of the buttons, it doesn't seem different at all.

Oh well, if it ain't broke, don't fix it

gmail has never crashed my FF sessions and i always have its tab open.

[Captain]

Some nice stuff in there, thanks Juggz

[+JuggerNaut+]

you bet

[^misantropia^]

gmail has never crashed my FF sessions and i always have its tab open.

Probably a bad extension that got fixed, because FF2 no longer crashes on me either.

[+JuggerNaut+]

\o/

[Plan B]

Rock steady so far, and also noticably faster than FF2, although that also may have to do with my provider being an off-and-on cunt (Ziggo, fellow dutchies, you know what I'm saying).

I like.

[^misantropia^]

Heh. Guess the name of the company I'm working for. :)

[Plan B]

Heh. Guess the name of the company I'm working for.

Ok, either

"Rock Steady" (kudos)

or

"Ziggo" (may all your children be born with small penises. especially the girls)

They've got their genetic markup running against them, though.
