Coming Tuesday, June 17th: Firefox 3

Whenever we’re asked “when is Firefox going to be released” we endeavor to answer to the best of our abilities, but the truth of the matter is that we’ll only ever ship “when it’s ready”. We have a lot of indicators that help us understand when the product is ready for release: feedback from our pre-release milestones, excitement in the community and the press, availability of compatible Add-Ons, and a large active beta community helping us ensure that the release is compatible with all the various sites on the Internet.
After more than 34 months of active development, and with the contributions of thousands, we’re proud to announce that we’re ready. It is our expectation to ship Firefox 3 this upcoming Tuesday, June 17th. Put on your party hats and get ready to download Firefox 3 — the best web browser, period.

Nice, I hope this one wont crash every 5 mins.

Agreed

Today is the day. I wonder when it will become available?

I expect they will email a notification if you signed up for it(like I did)

I'm not really liking RC2 as not many of the add-ons work for it yet, hopefully that will get sorted soon though!

RC3 was released as well.

Here is the final. http://www.filehippo.com/download_firefox/

The Mozilla servers are totally hammered. They are taking a couple of minutes just to serve up the page that has the downloads on it.

Installed... Looks good. :)

Seems faster too.

I may download the installer from elsewhere.

Wouldn't installing it still go towards the record even if you got the installer through our downloads section? Mozilla Firefox 3.0 Final
