Thank you!
It will be a late night early morning here in Western Australia, but at least I know now!

Seems to me that Mozilla should have been “on the ball” with this one.
I have been looking for the answer for three days on and off.
Fills me with confidence ;-(

The time map is a great idea – thanks. I wait with eager anticipation. However, nowhere have I read about *how* to handle the download. Do I simply overwrite my existing set-up? Or is it more complicated than that?

they could have started on the other side of the world, as soon as it was the 17th anywhere

either they are america-centric, or still getting the last couple of bugs out

i suspect the latter, and would like to start a betting pool for the first 3.01 revision … my guess, within a week

Wow! today you got the top link on Techmeme.
And thanks for sharing the Map, I was confused about the timings.
Happy Downloading.

By the time they release it is June 18 in Thailand already. They should have announced both date and TIME from beginning.

Waste the whole day checking.

Hi and thanks for doing what the firefox team should have been doing and that’s keep us all up dated as to the release time for the download. All you can find from them right now is their dumb site for the “record download” promotion. How lame can you get. I’ve been checking since about 9 my time (USA-CDT) expecting the download to be on line and you can’t find out anything but suggested times it will be available and they don’t agree. How hard would it have been for firefox’s development team to have seen that their site was up to date and told when the download would be available.

Sorry guys you dropped the ball!

Well stupid is as stupid does.

No surprise to me that the release date of the 17th meant 17th in the US (Microsoft patch Tuesday is always on a Wednesday for us in NZ), but what surprises me is that, two hours after it supposedly became available, the website says “Download Firefox 3″ but all the download links on the site are pointing me to 2.0.0.14. I had to go to http://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-3.0&os=win&lang=en-US in order to get it.

I wouldn’t mind so much if they weren’t making such a bit deal about setting a download record. This certainly ain’t the way to do it.

Finally..they’ve done it. Unfortunately, yesterday was one of the killer days in the history of downloading right after a long-awaited launch. However, I think it was worth it.

I love the new Firefox. It seems so much faster on my computer. I thought it was silly that the site went down. For all the advertising they did for download day you would have thought that they would have been prepared to use all that bandwidth. Oh well, they smashed the goal and then some. Good for them and hoorah for Firefox!
