Post subject: Help Firefox set a new World Record

In just three days, Mozilla Firefox will attempt to set a world record by downloading the most copies of a program in just one 24 hour period.
For all those who have used and liked Firefox, this is an opportunity for you to give back to the Firefox team, in some small way.

Join me and, I hope, millions of other Firefox users on Tuesday June 17 as we download the newest version of the Firefox browser, Firefox 3.0.

Post subject: FF Downloads

I have never understood why Mozilla has made downloading Firefox such an exercise in patience.

I scoured the internet yesterday for the new Firefox 3.0 and got everything from version 2 to several levels of Release Candidate (RC).

Finally, I found this link and got the latest Version, 3.0.

http://www.filehippo.com/download_firefox/

Filehippo has become my favorite download site for new software.
I now get their newsletter with the very latest in downloads.

Cheers mates!

I've found the best place to get the latest version is Mozilla's official download site: Getfirefox.com. It's usually got the newest version the moment it is released, and since it is the developer's own site, you know that you are getting the real thing (after all, as Firefox is open source, there is nothing stopping other sites distributing Firefox from making their own changes to the code - albeit at great risk to their reputations).

Yup, there it is!

But it wasn't there when I was trying to find FF 3.0 on Tuesday.

Thanks,
