Firefox 3 is out
Firefox 3.0 is out. It looks really, really good! Get it here! and help set a world record :-)

Note on comments:
- I know the forms below are a little small. We have asked for years for this to be changed, but I don't think it's going to happen soon. In Apple's Safari you can resize the entry box with you mouse. For people using other browsers click on this javascript link, that should allow you to resize your form.
- Comments are moderated, so they will take a little time to appear. Currently moderation means I have to read them personally. Hopefully with OpenId deployment, this will become more automated.
- HTML markup no longer works here, due to some decision made somewhere. Sorry about that.
- If you are having trouble posting, it may be that you need javascript to be enabled. I don't think javascript should be needed for submitting a form, but that's the way it is here.
- Check your comments by using the preview button...
Note that on Solaris (and presumably other UNIX OSs) you must edit the <binary directory>/firefox/firefox script that actually launches firefox to unset LD_LIBRARY_PATH at the top or links clicked in Thunderbird will not launch Firefox 3.
This is because the LD_LIBRARY_PATH Thunderbird runs with (based on the libraries used in Firefox 2) is not compatible with the LD_LIBRARY_PATH Firefox 3 needs to run.
A simple:
unset LD_LIBRARY_PATH
before the line that sets moz_libdir will do the trick nicely.
