FireFox 3 Update
I recently took part in the 2008 download day and I’m now running FireFox 3:
So far the new browser looks very good. I love the look of it and have not had any problems with moving across. All add ons have been added or updated, all passwords and data including bookmarks have been saved.
So far the number of downloads have reached over 13 million, 8 of which were completed within the 24 hours of download day.
Here’s my certificate from Mozilla for participation.
The reason behind download day was to try and set a new world record for downloads in a single day. The record attempt could not have been helped when the mass influx of pledgers on 17 June crashed the FireFox servers for a couple of hours. Still 8 million downloads in a day has to be a new record right?
Did you take part in download day 2008? What do you think of FireFox 3?

I missed download day.
I miss out on everything fun.
But I’ve heard of people not having up-to-date plugins available, which is scaring me off a little bit. I need my add-ons!

Hey…FF3.0 already available? How about the plugins and addons, are they working smoothly?

I skipped the firefox update because not all of my plugins will work with it.

I’m on board with FF3.0 - no issues aside from a couple of rarely used plugins not working.
So far, so good!
