- aaronlidman, on 06/16/2008, -5/+99More dramatic changes can be seen from development of Phoenix to Firebird to Firefox.
- Heidenreich12, on 06/16/2008, -0/+83its great to see the changes from 1.0 to 3.0. Its rather disappointing to be remembered how slight the changes were from 1.0 to 2.0 (as far as looks), but the changes from 2.0 for 3.0 are astonishing, especially with the different browser themes. I had to reinstall firefox 2 on one of my computers for testing, and i've been running FF3 for a while now, and it really did surprise me at how much the change really was. Great job to the Mozilla team
- inactive, on 06/17/2008, -3/+55I think you answered your own question. It's ***** 1:45 in the morning.
- pendrachken, on 06/17/2008, -3/+49How did you manage to post on digg with your PCs power off?
/pish kids these days and their new fangled internet enabled brains... - kalagmail, on 06/16/2008, -1/+46The first thing which i am gonna do when I turn on my pc is download Firefox 3.
- Rayhush, on 06/17/2008, -4/+47No, because I'm sure the poster realized that, but thought humor was more important. So shut up.
- arduenn, on 06/17/2008, -2/+42Why the hell is aaronlidman being dugg down? I hope this is not exemplary for the average Digger's ignorance. Phoenix and Firebird were Firefox' predecessors before the Mozilla standalone browser was re branded, so they deserve to be included in the list.

- inactive, on 06/17/2008, -2/+36Firefox 1.0 Owns IE 8.0.
- tjmb9, on 06/17/2008, -0/+30The last line there I think happened to a lot of us.
- Puppetfunk, on 06/17/2008, -0/+29Digg returning to it's roots hopefully.
- Sogui, on 06/17/2008, -2/+29Today's the 17th (Central time) when can we expect FF3 to come out?
- JNudda, on 06/17/2008, -2/+27FF3 ETA

- phalanxcronos, on 06/17/2008, -4/+29I started using firefox with it was still phoenix
- slythfox, on 06/17/2008, -0/+24Yeah. I honestly think the changes between 1.0 to 3.0 are very minimal and less interesting than the development versions leading up to FF 1.0.
- zingyGecko, on 06/17/2008, -5/+26Wow the linux theme is bad (compared to the rest). I know it's supposed to be more "native" looking, but with gnome that's not really a good thing.
- MacSuxWindozSux, on 06/17/2008, -1/+22Back then it was all revolution. IE6 was ancient, Windows XP SP2 wasn't everywhere yet, so many people were going to websites that installed viruses, spyware was silently hijacking everyone's browser, and most people didn't have tabbed browsing.
If IE7 as is, was out at that time, then Firefox would never have been nearly as successful. (Because most of those security problems have been fixed). Still I'd choose Firefox 2 over IE7 any day.
Firefox 0.7 (Firebird) introduced me to tabbed browsing. Afterwards I couldn't use multiple IE6 windows. - alach11, on 06/17/2008, -2/+19You had me hoping, but no...

- inactive, on 06/17/2008, -6/+22It's 1:45 AM EST, where's Firefox 3?
- RyeBrye, on 06/17/2008, -2/+17It was phoenix before it was firebird. Some guy above tried to prove he was cool by name dropping an old version as well - only he went with the older name.
- mrsteveman1, on 06/17/2008, -0/+14You realize Microsoft only significantly updated IE with 7 because people were leaving in huge numbers for Firefox, giving them real competition.
They had 6 years to fix IE6 and they only did so, and only in some minor ways, after they got kicked in the ass by Mozilla. - Rayhush, on 06/17/2008, -4/+17about:boobies
- inactive, on 06/17/2008, -2/+15The good old days.
- twister17e, on 06/17/2008, -0/+13Firefox 3 will go live at 10am pdt. For a local time near you, check out this site http://tinyurl.com/4e7fv5 .
- defectDS, on 06/17/2008, -0/+12But be weary if you want to support the cause:
"The files in this directory are - for now - only meant to be used by our testers. Downloading them directly can harm our ability to distribute Firefox efficiently, and will also not be counted as part of our attempt to set a Guiness World Record for the most software downloads in a day.
If you'd like to be notifed the minute that we launch, please go to sign up for Download Day. Or just head over to getfirefox.com on Tuesday, June 17th after 10am PDT." - mrsteveman1, on 06/17/2008, -1/+12No that was me, i ate a fox for lunch.
Sorry folks - PARTyZAN, on 06/17/2008, -0/+10http://www.flexbeta.net/main/printarticle.php?id=8 ...
Phoenix 0.1 to Firefox 1.1 - jamesmcginnis, on 06/17/2008, -0/+1018:00 GMT
- inactive, on 06/17/2008, -0/+9You're cool.
- unluckier, on 06/17/2008, -1/+9"The first thing *that* I am gonna do..."
Oh yes I did! - wjackson, on 06/17/2008, -1/+9srslywtf
- HorseloverFat8, on 06/17/2008, -0/+8And Phoenix was a cooler name.
- Atomic1fire, on 06/17/2008, -1/+9http://img264.imageshack.us/my.php?image=dontforge ...
go ahead and mirror it since its imageshack
I found the setup files on the mozilla server Now we can compare the browser look changes - MacSuxWindozSux, on 06/17/2008, -0/+8Mac, PC, and Linux versions each use different themes designed to be consistent with the operating system's look and feel.
- RyeBrye, on 06/17/2008, -0/+7Who was the idiot who decided to push it out at 10:00 AM San Francisco time?
- Gregsaw, on 06/17/2008, -0/+7right click, customize, use small icons
i also don't like the big buttons taking up my precious screen real estate - Atomic1fire, on 06/17/2008, -0/+7tomorrow 10:00 AM PDT (it says it in the ff3 release area)
- FFLord, on 06/17/2008, -1/+8I think I remember a site claiming it would come out at 7am PST, but I don't know if it is accurate. It would make sense, they wouldn't want to release FF3 before any of the developers came to work in the morning ;-)
- jamesmcginnis, on 06/17/2008, -0/+718:00 GMT
- thtswhatshesaid, on 06/17/2008, -0/+7Crap, so I have to download it again?
- lolwutpear, on 06/17/2008, -1/+8I love the smell of FF3 in the morning.
- the_snitch, on 06/17/2008, -2/+9I still remember it as phoenix, then firebird... then firefox.... then an insane wait for it to reach 1.0
- SimonGray, on 06/17/2008, -0/+7Yeah, me too. From version 0.3 and onwards. No one remembers Phoenix and Firebird these days :-)
- calibration, on 06/17/2008, -0/+7A day does lasts 24 hours, you know.
- HorseloverFat8, on 06/17/2008, -0/+6Nope. Why are you using a beta? RC3 has been out for a while now.
- sabaoth, on 06/17/2008, -0/+6From Phoenix to Firebird to Firefox with screenshots:
