Firefox 3 RC1 Out Now

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the can't-be-worse-than-the-last-beta dept.

Jay writes "Firefox 3 Release Candidate 1 is out now. If yours didn't auto-update, then get it while it's hot! The release came a bit early, with Computer World noting: 'As recently as last Saturday, Mozilla's chief engineer said that although the company had locked down RC1's code, it was planning to publicly launch the build in "late May."'" My copy just downloaded — restarting after I save this story. God I hope it's better than the last beta.

    Slashdot posts don't include swearing in the story summaries, so why is it acceptable to use the word 'God' as an expletive? I find it very offensive and it reflects poorly on a site which I have enjoyed for a long time.

    Disclaimer: I realise that it's very unpopular to be a christian on slashdot at the moment, so please don't start a flamewar about the relative merits of belief vs athiesm.

      AC has a good point. Please mod parent up.

      I am also tired of the language used on this site. We Christians are always losing out - there ought to be a law.

      Oh, there is one, and it's called the Bible. It's just that people think it's optional, or subject to their personal interpretation, or fit to be ignored altogether. Maybe I should move to a country that really does uphold my Christian principles.

      I am also tired of the quality of trolling used on this site. We Discordians are always losing out — there ought to be a law.

      Oh, there is one, and it's called Principia Discordia. It's just that it's optional, or subject to personal interpretation, or fit to be ignored altogether. Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law. Love is the law, love under will.

      (Can't be doin' with all these god-damned fuckers telling other folks how to talk.)
