Firefox 3 Release On Tuesday
unkgoon writes "The Mozilla Developer News blog is reporting Firefox 3 will be released on Tuesday, June 17, 2008, and you're invited to the party! From the website: 'After more than 34 months of active development, and with the contributions of thousands, we're proud to announce that we're ready. It is our expectation to ship Firefox 3 this upcoming Tuesday, June 17th. Put on your party hats and get ready to download Firefox 3 — the best web browser, period.'" Update: 06/12 17:44 GMT by T : Dan100 was among several readers to write with news that, rather than just being announced, "Opera 9.5 has been released today after nearly two years of development. New features include increased speed (particularly in the Javascript engine), Opera Link (browser synchronisation), and a 'sharp' new theme." Dan100 also links to a full changelog from 9.27.
Bully for you. Did you want a Blue Peter badge? I have Opera 9.5 and it is the only one I will ever allow in my house and I even have the thumb drive version. http://www.opera-usb.com/operausben.htm
Just wanted to add to the comments about Opera being a far better browser, and have just released 9.5. Judging by the comments so far, I gather I'm not the only one who sees it as the superior browser, it really deserves more attention here.
I.O.U One Sig.
It is our expectation to ship Firefox 3 this upcoming Tuesday, June 17th.
Are they actually mailing out CDs to anyone, then? Or do they still have a couple of last-minute changes to make from the release candidate you can download right now?
