ianw1974 Posted June 8, 2008 Report Share Posted June 8, 2008 Am currently using it as it comes with Ubuntu 8.04 and it's nice so far. I like the way it deals with self-signed certificates so that you don't keep getting warning dialogs all the time. You can simply add them as being safe and then never get prompted again :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iphitus Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 My download day starts at 3am on the 18th. It'd be better if they ran it at a full day internationally... I'll download it to my PDA in the morning over wifi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AussieJohn Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 Thanks Iphitus for that info. I've been searching for 3 days for such info but obviously looking in the wrong places. I am hoping Bigpond carrys it but I don't if their downloads will be counted so I will download from Mozilla as well. Cheers. John. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ianw1974 Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 Well, I made it on, and it's still in beta, full release is last 2.x release. Weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulSe Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 I've been using Firefox 3 since beta 4. It's really looking good. Lightweight, snappy and the new databasing system is awesome. I'm eagerly awaiting file availability and then I'll join in the download fest! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
