The Firefox team have confirmed the release date of the next major update for Firefox, the anticipated version 3.0. It will be available to the unwashed masses on the 17th of June - although in fairly typical US-centric thinking, this doesn't include an exact time or timezone - probably early on the morning of the 18th for Australians.

Don't forget the Mozilla team are trying to break a world record for the most software downloads in 24 hours, so help them out!

Update: Somehow I wrote July instead of June. Sorry! It's next week, people!

How convenient. I'm capped, and my quota renews on the 18th, so I wont be waiting 12 hours for the thing to download.

Unfortunately only half of my addons are compatible with FF3 .. come on developers!

What speed does your ISP cap at? It would have taken you 20 mins to grab FF3 RC3 @ 6kB/s anyway.

I'm pledged too

Yeah, I was exaggerating.

Adblock and gestures are the first two addons I get for a fresh Firefox installation.

What has the current record? Crysis?

I hope they make tabmix plus compatible quicksmart I'm sick of the google search bar opening in the current tab instead of a new tab like it did in FF2

some of these countries people are pledged from are kind of implausible

what are some noteworthy addons for firefox?

Noscript, Adblock, IEtab and the Australian dictionary.

and fasterfox

and unplug

got it on my Ubuntu software upgrade manager last night.

netusagemeter

netsausagemeter

NetUsage, NoScript, IEView Lite, AdBlock+ & Element Hider.

you will be still capped in a months time?

18th of July.. its the 13th of June today.. Does it take you 2 months to get uncapped?

I got the date wrong and just realised. Sorry! IT's the 17th of JUNE, so next week. Feel free to abuse me.

Oh well in that case.. i didnt read any links.. :)
i always f*** up these two months.. whos smart idea was it to put 2 similiar sounding months close together.. jerks.

*shakes fist* DAMN YOU~!!!!

that felt quite good.

Heh, I must be blind, because I read it as June anyway.

+1 for unplug, simplest and very effect online media grabber.

+1 for noscript, awesome for blocking so much BS and... for when ur capped... noscript makes everysite not take years, just hours ;)

unlinker f***ing rawks, google it u lazy c***

What has the current record? Crysis?

It's actually GTA IV.

I think it's obvious, Trog works for an opposing browser company and doesn't want mozilla to get that world record :p

+1 for unplug, simplest and very effect online media grabber.

I use video download helper or something, it actually attempts to keep the original video file name, unplug just seems to save everything as get video.flv or whatever the site calls their video viewer.

Sorry for bumping this... but my firefox says it's the latest version at 2.0.0.15. If I manually update, will it keep all my plugins and saved settings?

mine did.

Mine updated to 2.0.0.15 automatically, then the next day updated again to FF3.

yeh a couple of other programs aren't updating automatically too, even when I check for updates. GG $2k new PC running Vista.

im still waiting for updates for my favourite addons :/
