That responds fast, just downloaded at 170 kbps

are you sure this is it?

yeah, once i installed, its RC3
So wait, the link is RC3 or the official 3.0 release?

Don't know. But if you go to their website, they still list FF2 as the official current version.

Official 3.0

I see no mention of RC in my Help, About.
When I opened the browser it said welcome to RC3

Yea, the WEBPAGE that first loads still says release candidate, but the actual program is not RC3. Their site is so hammered they probably forgot or can't change the wording.

I'm impressed with how fast it is.
Memory usage has been rather stable at around 110 MB if anyone is interested (4 tabs open)

a when I downloaded RC3 when it came out, RC3 wasn't stated under help about.

They haven't sent out their email yet, so I'm guessing that they're just about ready to launch the main site. Ah, how exciting for nerds!

It opens almost instantly for me with 8 add-ons :confused:
