It should all start at the same time. So I have about an hour to go, so should everybody else in the world. At least I assume it starts at the same time... it should.
*EDIT* It starts at 6:00 PM in London England. Are you in the same time zone as London Jason?

It will be released for everyone at the same time. However, it will be different time zones for others'

Well your supposed to be able to download it now. But I can't even get into any firefox websites. They just keep trying to load and load and load some more, but nothing. hmm.... must be because of all the traffic they are getting.

That's very true.
Same here, sam -- I cannot load the Mozilla site. Looks like this has gone horribly wrong, I would of thought they'd have prepared for it. Anyway, they haven't even got a record to beat -- just set the record, so it won't be too hard  |

Ya I had read that blog to. I will probably just download it but not install it. Ya seems as though firefox's servers can't handle the load of all the traffic. I still can't get into it, oh well.

Just received an email: Quote: |
Are you ready to make history? Are you ready to set a World Record? Today is Download Day. To become part of the official Guinness World Record you must download Firefox 3 by 17:00 UTC on June 18, 2008, or roughly 24 hours from now.

I can't even access that site... Sorry, but they had a lot of time to prepare for this -- no sympathy!
Also, it's the speed improvements, not interface.

I agree with ya Jason. I don't even think I downloaded V3. I downloaded it and installed it. But I don't see any of the new features, and unless some of the screen shots I saw were from vista, it looks completely the same as before. Wasn't version 2.0.0.14 the version before V3. Cuse thats what I downloaded. ahh... I think firefox screwed up on this.
AH HA. Now its says 3.0 instead of 2.0.0.14. Dang it took them that long to put it up on there.... sheesh.

You can click Help > About Mozilla Firefox to see what one you have.
I'm trying to get onto the site but it won't load for me yet :frown:

I finally got the stupid thing to load. But now I can't freakin download it. It stops at like 2.0MB or so. man this is annoying. I am not entirely sure that its mozilla, it could be my computer cuse I had problems with downloading things a week ago or so.
There we go, finally got it downloaded. Now to install it I think. Hope it works for you guys in the UK soon. Mozilla has done a terrible job at getting this to work right.
