    They're going to try to break the record for most downloads of a single piece of software in a day, the day it is released.

    I've used the betas off and on, and it's BLAZING fast.

    What's more important, to me and you, is that it's going to make the next generation of S2 software run really fast. And that's coming soon, too [​IMG]

    Um...I think I just got it, haha. I had beta, and it said something about an update, I didn't read it cause I'm lazy tho. And I downloaded it, installed it...It says "Firefox Version 3.0". Sweet.

    I want to switch, but I'm not sure if all my extensions will work. I'm guessing userchrome stayed the same? I have mine optimized for workspace.

    I put 3 on another computer straight away, and it is great.

    Only problem I had was with Mouse Gestures, but Fire Gestures is compatible and it's the same thing.

    Macs need a RC3 before the final release of FireFox 3. RC3 for Mac OSX users is expected to launch tomorrow and FireFox 3 some time towards the middle of the month

    Noia 2.0 doesn't work yet, so everything looks weird.

    I tried it earlier today for about half an hour and honestly didn't notice a speed change.

    Yeah, I think I read somewhere that it uses half the ram of FireFox 2.

    I think everyone was talking about the speed of the browser it self.
