The official release of Firefox 3.0 is still a few hours away (that’s due to happen at 10.00PDT today) but the final build of Firefox is now available for download as long as you know where to look for it (clue - look here). I’ve grabbed my download and carried out a few installs and I’m ready with some initial thoughts.

IMPORTANT: Downloads from FTP server and direct links will not count towards the Guinness World Record attempt for the most software downloads in a day. If participation in this event is important to you, wait for the official release.

Their website is slow as hell

Haha, looks like they didn't estimate *just* how popular it was going to be.

I'm getting a serivce unavailable now (and for the sake of their servers I won't keep hitting F5 (like so many kids will be around the world)).

If they had of started the downloads early today, they could have at least spread out the europe and US downloading surges.

The ftp doesn't count towards the world record attempt if you are bothered about that.

I was unable to download at work because of our blocks, but I will get it from home... though it will take forever.

My ISP won't even connect to the contest DL page, it just times out every time, good thing I got it first thing this morning...............

[Bio-Hazard]

The DL page is up and running again as of right now, I just ran it to be sure..............

[DMB2000uk]

Do they count per copy or per IP?

About 3mins for everything.

Export all your bookmarks from FF2 and import them into FF3.

Go firefox! I haven't had a lot of time with it so far, but it seemed to load pages faster on my 56k connection.
