I was hoping FF3 would be a full release - I'm not ready for just the release candidate. I pledged, but I won't be DL'ing FF3 today.

Im not sure why everyone is having problems. Yeah spreadfirefox.com didnt work, but mozilla.com worked fine for me. It downloaded pretty quick as well, about 50kb/s. I have to say its pretty dang cool!

Does anyone know if it keeps your about:config settings from firefox2? Cause if not, Ive got a lot to change again...

As far as I know you just install over the top of FF2 and FF3 will uninstall FF2 while preserving you settings etc

Question, it will save all my add ons and bookmarks, cookies, history etc, right? I can just d/l and install?

It is the full release from their site, however..... the ISOHUNT download seems to be the RC3 !!

Bookmarks,settings were fine for me when I upgraded, however.... I believe some add-ons do not work in FF3;)

Yeah, idk, just when i first installed, the first page it opened was like "Thanks blah blah blah RC3 blah blah testing blah"

But maybe i didnt read it carefully enough.
And my "About Firefox" is pretty much identical toyours.
So maybe its not lol. Working fine so far. I lovei t.
