duritz Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 I seem to continue getting the 'Welcome to Mozilla Firefox Release Candidate 3 Page' is there a reason for this? it probably was a fake dl. just wait for the real thing.

trek Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 They should've taken a page out of Microsoft/Apple's book and used Akamai. Talk about a disastrous launch so far...

Cara Veteran Posted June 17, 2008 Veteran Share Posted June 17, 2008 Does look like RC3 on the Mac Link, probably using RC3 to test their links. Always fun to do things like this where you try to get something before anyone else has it. :) Brings back the good old days.

Dc'1 Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 I downloaded it, the installer no longer says RC*, and in "About Firefox" it says 3.0... Cant see any visible differences though. I'm taking it as though it's the real FF3 :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/643719-follow-the-release-of-firefox-3/page/7/#findComment-589490428 Share on other sites More sharing options...
