Mozilla Download Day

[Warrior4Christ]

Hi all: Download Day starts on June 17th at 10 a.m. PDT. Check this out for local times: http://tinyurl.com/4e7fv5

..which is not the 17th at all for some people in the world.

But... I *cough* managed to find the link anyway. *downloaded*

I can't wait

Hey guys! I just downloaded the new Mozilla...so far, so good.

[Shao Feng-Li]

Ahh. I love Firefox

[Mr. SmartyPants]

I'm liking new 3.0 as well. =)

[Debitt]

:| It killed some of my add-ons.

Bugger.

[RobinSena]

I'm sticking with my current version for now. I didn't care for the beta test thing recently.


Oh, and I haven't had any problems with Firefox either. For those who have had problems, I have one word to say. PEBKAC.

[Shao Feng-Li]

Yeah, lost my imageshack toolbar.

[Mr. SmartyPants]

I'm liking this new feature that Foxytunes has! Now the "What Song are you Listening to?" thread follows you and you can now annoy people with what songs you're playing! Hurrah!

----------------
Now playing: ATB - Gentle Melody
via FoxyTunes

[Mithrandir]

I have contributed to the attempt. The new FF layout is sexah!

[Mr. SmartyPants]

I have contributed to the attempt. The new FF layout is genderah!

Fixed. XD

Nooooooo, where's my cute Fox theme? ;_; The little fox had a running loop animation when the page was loading, but it's gone now.

[Tsukuyomi]

I've seen some.. other versions of the Fire Fox xD;

That's all I'm gonna say ^_________^

I tried firefox a while ago when it was first getting popular among the techies. The ugly interface and lack of features (session manager, speed dial, etc.) drove me to opera. I am currently giving this new version a spin, and, with a few add-ons am liking it better than the rather unstable Opera.

Are you aware that Opera also recently brought out a new version just before Firefox 3? I haven't tried it for that long, but it looks very different, with some new and improved stuff, and tries to address some of those instability/memory leak/performance issues. Just like Firefox is trying to do. I like it thus far. *prefers Opera anyway* But what happened to my '1' and '2' keyboard shortcuts?

[Tsukuyomi]

I've only tried Fire Fox out of the Modzilla family. Which ones do you guys THINK is better or whatnot o.o?

Everything you would have wanted is an add on though... XD

Actually, I'm loving this new Opera version the more I use it.


Also, Mozilla fails at Download Day.
First, "pledge to download" without knowing a date.
Then date is released to tell people when to download.
The date arrives for most of the world, and they can't download it. Whoops, they forgot to announce a time and/or timezone! FAIL. The map of the world made it appear to be a worldwide effort.
The download time is announced in a post on the forum; not anywhere obviously visible on the front page, so only those who are really looking will see it.
The download time ends up being 10am in the California timezone - quite reasonable to expect it to be based off the California time zone, since that's where the head office is. It's just that it's already 10 hours into day. How many major cities are in time zones after PDT? Um... Honolulu... uh... yeah, that's about it. It's one of the last (populated) timezones in the world. Meaning that the true download day is the 18th for a significant portion of the world.

Not to mention, the number of people trying to download at once killed their servers.

Absolutely horrible! D:

I downloaded but didn't install. Nice to help the effort, but I don't have time for new software at work.
