Pledged I'll be downloading it at work and at home.

[Momiji]

If I get the next version, will I have to re-download all of my add-ons?

[rubah]

Uh, firefox has had a 'check for updates' feature forever so you don't have to do it by hand xD There are probably some that will break because no one has updated them, but the ones that are updated have been updated to work with ff3.
(forecastfox, adblock plus, gmail notifier, firebug for example)

I've been excited all day. One hour left!

I've already got a record under my belt, largest amount of saxophonists playing the same song at the same time at the same place.

I just tried to go to the spreadfirefox.com link and it's bogged down. I'll be happy to take part in this if the tubes aren't clogged from everyone downloading it.

I think they count p2p, mullet

[Cloudane]

I can't imagine they'd have any official counting method other than their own servers, so that rules out p2p or mirrors.

There's a 24 hour window though - once the initial rush is over (a few hours?) I reckon it'll respond fine.

[Flying Mullet]

When was the official kick-off for the 24 hour period?

[rubah]

About an hour and a half ago, mulley. 10am pacific daylight time.
Index of /pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/3.0

This mirror had a page up saying 'WAIT do not download yet!' so I think it must be good now.

When I looked earlier (before it got swamped), the spreadfirefox site had a table that listed different torrents and p2p, so I can only imagine they are tracking those somehow.

Quoted from slashdot:

Since not all of us use windows and want their system in english, let's decompose that link a bit:

http://download.mozilla.org/?product...win&lang=en-US [mozilla.org]

You select your version with the GET variables. So, for other OS's:

* Linux: change os=win to os=linux
* Mac: change os=win to os=osx

For other languages, you can substitute the language variable such as en-GB for British English, de for German and fr for French. Not all of them are up right now, but they will be soon.

This is the link from the e-mail I just got for having pledged: Firefox web browser | Faster, more secure, & customizable

[JKTrix]

Bump. This thing is today.

Huh, it took <a href="http://forums.eyesonff.com/general-chat/117908-did-you-ever-want-record-holder.html">less than two weeks</a> for me and the rest of the forums except for JKTrix to forget this thread existed. that's gotta be a record.

[JKTrix]

Well you can tell I don't come 'round these parts much, I'd have bumped that thread :P

[DK]

Downloaded it, hated it, went back to the previous version.

[XxSephirothxX]

I downloaded a couple hours ago. No different than RC3 or whatever I was on, unless there are some bugfixes or something. Still, it's awesome it's finally done.

Also, everyone should try out PicLens. Not the most practical extension, but really cool.
