Title: Firefox Download Day
Post by: Rick Meredith on June 17, 2008, 19:55:31 pm
So who's trying to download Firefox 3.0 today? I've been trying for 2 hours but the server must be slammed.

Only 22 hours to go!

Well I'm browsing with FF 3.0.

Noticeably faster than the old version.

Some of my extensions are broken but all the ones I use a lot work.

You cats are too high tech for me... all that I know is that I've been runnin' Mozilla Firefox since Jan. of 2005 and it's fast. That's all that matters.

Dude get the new version!

I probably already have the latest version... unless Mozilla just released a brand new one in the last few days. If so, then I'll wait till all of you other people are done trying to download. You're probably overloading their site with bandwidth. HAHA!!

Just kidding... I'll have to see which version I have. At any rate, any other browser (other than Mozilla) is a royal waste of time. So glad I ditched Internet Exploder, awhile back. Thing was useless.

Yes this was a rewrite of FireFox... Much better memory management and some nice new features.

It was just released today and they're trying to set a new world record for the most downloaded software in a 24hr period.
