    Firefox 3

    So, firefox 3 is to be released next tuesday (save any huge bugs being found).

    And to launch it Mozilla want you to join in and set a record for the most software download in 24 hours!

    Spread Firefox | Download Day 2008

    could be good....


    But the browser itself looks really good too. Is it bad that I'm excited about this...

    I'm using the release candidate at the moment. I like the changes that they've made to the interface and the improved download manager. I'm not sure what else is meant to have changed?

    I have been using 3 for a while myself.. not broken it yet either RC1 was buggy and RC2 seems ok.

    One thing i did find was that i could not install Flash player like you normally do i had to download the FF version and install it that way.

    I actually see the pdf thing as a good thing.. I can't stand having files open in the browser... but that's just my opinion..
