- BlueSkyfish, on 06/12/2008, -4/+191If you haven't already pledged, do it now

As of this post, there are only 1,064,443 people confirmed. - nitr, on 06/12/2008, -4/+164The Release Candidates have been great to use, Looking forward to getting this!
- akuzemchak, on 06/12/2008, -3/+138As a long-time Safari user, I started messing with the Firefox 3 RCs, and have been thoroughly impressed with all the improvements over version 2... especially on the Mac side. Looking forward to the 17th... and to switching my main browser officially!

- ElBeh, on 06/12/2008, -2/+67Nice to see there's a release date set in stone now. Let's break that record!
- inactive, on 06/12/2008, -2/+52"...the truth of the matter is that we’ll only ever ship “when it’s ready”."
There you go Microsoft, the open source community just TOLD you how to stop sucking. - wiachy, on 06/12/2008, -8/+49my birthday! w00t
- completerobot, on 06/12/2008, -1/+37Between that and the Spore Creature Creator, I really don't see myself leaving my computer next Tuesday.
- daFilms, on 06/12/2008, -2/+31Now there's no excuse for not partaking in the celebration, make your region proud -- http://mozillaparty.com/events/map/
- twiztidsinz, on 06/12/2008, -1/+27lol press the Try Again button on the About:Robots page :-P
- Mootabolife, on 06/12/2008, -2/+27I'm a longtime Opera user because I liked how fast it was and how all of the features came built in without extensions. Recently, however, I thought my computer was having issues with Windows. As it turned out, Opera was seizing the entire computer and hard locking it. I tried switching over to Firefox about a week ago and the problems disappeared. I doubt I'll be going back to Opera anytime soon. Goodbye old friend, you were the fastest once... but no longer.
- ModernChem, on 06/12/2008, -6/+29I pledge allegiance, to firefox, one browser made by god, unmatched, with tabs and justice for all
- wreckosaurus, on 06/12/2008, -4/+24My birthday is a couple days before, but I'm more excited about firefox. internetz>real life
- pHr34kY, on 06/12/2008, -1/+21Firefox3 will never threaten to stab you.
- ModernChem, on 06/12/2008, -1/+21all hail firefox
- marksands07, on 06/12/2008, -0/+20I just got the popup that RC3 is out, now just another 5 days.. =]
- deltron, on 06/12/2008, -0/+19I know I'll be reading Guiness Book of World Records in a few years and find that record (if we make it), and be happy to be involved in a Guinness record, it's been a goal of lifez0r.
- j1ggy, on 06/12/2008, -2/+19Finally... all the extensions will be updated for one version only. Some authors were only developing for the 3.0 beta, some for 2.x. It was beginning to turn into a big soupy mess and a little more difficult to find compatible extensions.
- HybridZero, on 06/12/2008, -1/+18Can't wait for this release. I've been using the betas / release candidates for some time now and I'll be extremely happy to get my hands on the final!
- karuberutsu, on 06/12/2008, -2/+18That's my birthday! What a great gift! Thanks, Mozilla!
- Thorlord, on 06/12/2008, -0/+16absolutely not.
i don't want to have it succeed and then have some prick from Microsoft claiming that it was miscounted due to multiple downloads from the same person. (they prob will anyway, but damn i don't want them to be right!)
so instead, just go to everyone you knows computer and download it and install it on that. THAT will be much more proactive than just "downloading twice" - expert01, on 06/12/2008, -0/+15I had tons of crashing with FF3, Ubuntu, and flash. I solved it by destroying all my flash plugins, completely removing flash, removing all video codecs in Firefox,
sudo apt-get purge flashplugin-nonfree gnash gnash-common mozilla-plugin-gnash swfdec-mozilla
sudo apt-get remove kaffeine-mozilla mozilla-mplayer mozilla-plugin-vlc totem-mozilla && sudo apt-get install gecko-mediaplayer gnome-mplayer
cd ~/.mozilla
rm flashplayer.xpt libflashplayer.so
wget -O - http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/flashplaye ... | tar xz -C ~
mkdir ~/.mozilla/plugins/
cp ~/install_flash_player_10_linux/libflashplayer.so ~/.mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so
rm -r ~/install_flash_player_10_linux
rm ./flashplayer10_install_linux_051508.tar.gz
But beware... Flash 10 is not perfect - I can't play most games because they won't recognize keyboard input (although some do), but it doesn't crash. And I imagine when it goes final those broken programs will get fixed pretty fast. - Filipp0, on 06/12/2008, -0/+15It's amazing that Brazil and Poland pretty much as #2 in number of pledgers. In your face first world countries!! IN YO FACE!! (just kidding, I love you all)
- ralphthemagi, on 06/12/2008, -2/+17Dugg for sweet tip and dugg for "Awesomebar."
I raise you this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tb2Pzl1U0sY - overaction, on 07/14/2009, -0/+15Mozilla is actually *setting* the record, it has never been done before.
- Cyphase, on 06/12/2008, -3/+17Actually..
I pledge allegiance, to Firefox, the best browser ever made, and to the open web for which it stands, one browser, underused, lightning quick, with tabs and add-ons for all.
That said, for various different reasons I won't go into here (nothing really to do with the "under god" controversy), I don't say the pledge anymore. And neither should you ;). - Zaneris, on 06/12/2008, -0/+14They're using cookies to try and not allow that to affect their results, so... if you're going to do it ;) wipe your cookies each time.
- inactive, on 06/12/2008, -1/+15And then you'll realize... 1998 was ten whole ***** years ago...
- ch33sehead, on 06/12/2008, -0/+14DO NOT PRESS THAT BUTTON AGAIN!!!
- brianpeiris, on 06/12/2008, -0/+13Spore's free creature creator is being released on the 17th as well! Can we make it a holiday or something?
- Jayso89, on 06/12/2008, -0/+12Now to find a forum which doesn't restrict image sizes..... muhahahaha
- pHr34kY, on 06/12/2008, -0/+12Due to increasing interest rates and petrol prices, Australia will not be hosting a party.
- bigdoof, on 06/12/2008, -0/+11You're flying to see the opening of a retail store? Really?
- beingdevious, on 06/12/2008, -0/+11please dont ruin it for the rest of us. if the GWR people find out there was any attempt at cheating, its likely to be voided.
download once, tell a thousand times. - Yuska, on 06/12/2008, -0/+11I've been using the beta for a while, I love it. It seems to be a lot faster than FF2, and lightyears ahead of IE..
- Darmichar, on 06/12/2008, -0/+11I believe I read somewhere that there actually isn't one, they're just hoping to essentially create a record with this release.
That and it's a nice viral marketing ploy to get the word out. :) - asadotzler, on 06/12/2008, -1/+12Ubuntu pushed RC1. All RC releases label themselves as Firefox 3 since they could have become the final release if another RC wasn't warranted. Mozilla has since released RC2 and RC3, but Ubuntu is behind and has just now got RC1 out the door. They will hopefully catch up, either by shipping RC2 (3 was only necessary on Mac) soon and then shipping final next Tuesday with Mozilla or by skipping RC2 and going right to final (though that seems dangerous since we took about 40 changes in RC2 that could impact Linux.)
There are upsides and downsides to distribution vendor lock-in and this is clearly a downside. - hpfreak26, on 06/12/2008, -0/+10I'm an alcoholic and... oh wait. Is this not the confession thread?
- Yusayoh, on 06/12/2008, -0/+10ONLY?! That's an understatement. That is a lot of people ready to download a web browser the day it comes out.
- equinoxChild, on 06/12/2008, -0/+10its not necessarily for ruining the record...I'm going to have to download it, at minimum, twice, once for my windows desktop, once for my linux laptop.
- JingleHymrShmit, on 06/12/2008, -3/+13This is also the birthday of former Irish independent politician Mildred Fox. Coincidence....most likely.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mildred_Fox - ElBeh, on 06/12/2008, -3/+12Not really. Maybe you have a few hundred too many tabs open or have a broken addon.
- inactive, on 06/12/2008, -0/+9Poland has the second most pledges?
- tk0680, on 06/12/2008, -2/+10Can't believe this is being buried. Dare to do anything besides lavish praise on something Digg likes and you get buried. Nice.
- Boktai1000, on 06/12/2008, -0/+8Its referring to the RC, in this case Ubuntu is currently only on RC2 which is what you updated to (Yes i know RC3 is actually out but Ubuntu has to test it before its added to the repository). In the RC builds, they remove all Beta markings as an RC should be considered what to expect with the final. In the Help>About it will also make no indications of an RC/Beta build, the best way to tell would be the filename of the download.
- Mard, on 06/12/2008, -2/+10I'm not sure why you're having that problem. I've used Firefox for years, and never experienced it myself. I am currently using FF3 RC2 on Mac OS X, and it's as solid as a rock (as you'd expect from any FF release). It used to be that when Firefox 1 or 2 started crashing, it meant your user profile had somehow become corrupt (usually attributed to add-ons). The workaround would be creating a new profile, and copying your bookmarks.html over. I believe my sister's computer had this problem once, and I fixed it by creating a new profile for her. It's a tad complicated, but here is the walkthrough for managing profiles:

- SenorGeltabz, on 06/12/2008, -1/+9I love the RC's even the beta's were way better than safari and IE on my comps.
