It's officially download day, but I cant seem to break my way into any of the download sites (must be getting hammered) - anyone help me out?

For those who dont know, Mozilla are trying to set the world record for the number of downloads in a 24 hours period with Firefox 3 - which was officially released today

Firefox 3.0, yeah baby!

I use it at work (Hardy Hardon Ubuntu installation comes with one of the RCs), and I'm still not convinced about the new address bar thing. It's great how well it searches but its a bit too intrusive.

I downloaded it a little while ago. New address bar is taking a bit of getting used to but otherwise happy

I think I'll get used to it soon enough as I often use the address bar to store favourites rather than use bookmarks because it's just what I'm used to doing now.

Edit: Oh the irony. Just tapped in b on the address bar as pre 3.0 it brought up BD, and it brought up OcUK instead

I just downloaded, installed and ran FF3 direct from the Mozilla site. Which makes

on the first page FF3 loads up all the more amusing.

NOTE:

The version of the link Leo provided (at time of writing) comes up with a build date of 2008052906 (Help -> About), so just over 2 weeks old.

That is not the final release, which is running late, so I'm told. Guess we'll have to wait for a few hours yet (suspect tomorrow morning may be the earliest you'll get for doing a proper download)

sorry everyone I fail

That is the link on their download page though Garp I just checked.
