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.

I love the beta it gives you an idea about what it will look like and I cant wait till the full version comes out and sure some of my add-ons don't work but they will soon.

I fail to see how this is offtopic.

Because this is an article about Firefox? And, at least AFAICT, Opera != Firefox. I mean, perhaps I'm wrong, but...

It was on the Ubuntui update last nite....

.... or was this release canadate 3? I looked in the "about" box and unlike the previous version showing the release canidate number, this was simply version 3.0

I'm confused?

Yeah, what is it with Slashdotters? I only ever hear "I am running a Pentium II 500MHz Processor" or "I'm damn happy with my 386 Linux desktop". For a 'tech site' we certainly seem to be in the stoneage. =P

I'm typing this from a Q6600 @ 3.8GHz (1.5v) btw. =)
