I don’t know, but I did not encounter any of those downtime server you mentioned. I’m pretty sure I downloaded it just a few minutes after the official start.

They actually pushed the update and the download link 24 hours before the actual date of Guinness recording. They lost a couple million already for doing that.

FF3 has been downloadable and updateable since UTC+1200 stroke yesterday. Really weird if they want to establish a world records :p

Anyway, I re-downloaded so I’ll be counted.

I like the new address bar.. yan nga yung pinaka ok na fdeature nf firefox 3. Why? you don’t need to input the whole site url! Just type a word like “technology” then all the sites that you have visited in the past that has something to do with that word will pop out. unlike before you have to put the exact URL.

I didn’t have to download mine (the whole version I mean). Been using RC as my main browser ever since RC 1 came out. Automatic update was a cinch.
