Firefox 3 Download Day - June 17
 The final release of Firefox 3 is set for tuesday, June 17th and they're trying to set a world record for most software downloads in a day. If you're thinking about getting it, might as well download on that day to help 'em out. I gotta wonder how the servers are going to be feeling that day. Check out their site at Spread Firefox | The Home of Firefox Community Marketing Anybody been using the beta releases? Seems to be a bit better overall than 2 (and still considerably better than IE).

I'm sure that I'll be getting firefox 3 but no I haven't been using the beta version.
do you have any idea if it's going to be an automatic update or will you actually have to go to mozilla's website and download it. To be honest I didn't even know that they had firefox 2 I thought that they just made a whole bunch of automatic updates. |

In all honesty, I have no idea if it'll be an automatic update. I don't see why they wouldn't, but I really don't know.

It should be an automatic update. I remember FF 2 being an auto update although I choose to update what I want but it was an option.

Yeah, FF2 was an auto-update.
Do you know if they fixed the memory leak yet? |

I hear if you pledge to download it on their site and you dont, they kill one member of your family at random.

For me, it's mostly in stuff you won't necessarily see. The two biggest things are better security and better standards compliance (meaning, you can sometimes code a website properly, but IE will find more ways to screw it up). Plus, their is a huge plug-in community for Firefox so you can add on a number of features and make your browser very personalized.
