Firefox Download Day

[Ralle]

Hello everyone
As many of you (who know me) know, I am a firefox fan. And therefore I would like to help spread firefox. The mozilla group (the people who are developing firefox) has released firefox 3.0 and they are trying to beat the world record in most downloads in 24 hours. So I would be happy if all of you would download firefox 3.0.

Are you ready to make history? Are you ready to set a World Record? Today is Download Day. To become part of the official Guinness World Record you must download Firefox 3 by 17:00 UTC on June 18, 2008, or roughly 24 hours from now.

Thank you very much!

 

[Instant Ramen]

I'm part of the record now!

 

[Jaakko]

What is good with this firefox? If they want a high record wo should all spend the next 24 hours just downloading the tool lol

 

[skrab]

just a second downloading it

I just downloaded firefox 3. First impression: the default skin actually looks nice!
Otherwise, I imagine this is not so big an update. I use Opera more at the moment and firefox still doesn't have some of the features I like best in Opera [speed dial, mouse gestures]. I think SpeedDial might be Copyright actually.

i used speed dial, mouse gestures plugins on ff2 and now they also work for ff3

 

[Shadow_Fox]

Dang, 1 of my favorite extensions doesn't work haha.

 

[Dreadnought[dA]]

I love Firefox =D Fire Gestures, tunes, and downloader are awesome =D

 

[Sabertooth]

Just DL'd it. Win.

 

[PurgeandFire]

+download '

 

[Belgarath]

Whoo go firefox !!! Definitely getting that.

 

[Gilles]

Downloaded and using.

 

[Pyritie]

Downloaded it, but it seems to hate windowblinds.

That and most of my addons don't work so I'm sticking with FF2 for now.

 

[Black flesh]

I'm downloaded it.

 

[The Reborn Devil]

I have downloaded it because I LOVE Firefox.

 

[Xarwin]

Firefox = Instant Win.
IE = Instant Emergency.

 

[Volvox]

I downloaded firefox 3.0 and now it's not working(woohoo) on vista. I am disappointed.

 

[Andriejj]

Heh, I'll stick with Opera, it also got an update, to 9.50. Which equals win, changes are great. Not that Firefox is bad, I just think Opera is more functional. And I agree about IE, Xarwin's equatation is 100% true ;D

 

[frostwhisper]

Already have this baby, and let me say: it looks and operates awesome.

 

[X.e.r.e.X]

Just downloaded it a moment ago and I can tell that this shit it fast

 

[Alleycat5]

I absolutly love this, and me being a code geek also love some other not as evident features .
Also there is an addon that acts like speed dial (a feature i love) for firefox 3 .
One of my favorite features about firefox is its addons ^_^

 

[Fimbus]

My current theme isn't supported
Anyways the default theme looks splendid

 

[ady_illidan]

i will download it. i'm a firefox fan too (opera sucks)

 

[Andriejj]

i will download it. i'm a firefox fan too (opera sucks)

No, u. Won't elaborate it further, don't want to go into an argument ;P

 

[ady_illidan]

it was just my opinion. if you like it, fine.

 

[Andriejj]

it was just my opinion. if you like it, fine.

Oh well, but if you want to argue... Many current oh-so-awesome Firefox features were patterned after Opera, which first introduced them. Heck, even IE copied cards from Opera, just not 100% so they suck ass there.

 

[Fimbus]

I like the idea that you say you want no argument, and then try to start one

 

[Andriejj]

He could stay silent and not provoke me And what kind of argument is that, Opera sucks? You can say IE sucks, because that's widely known, but for Opera or Firefox, you can't just say - it sucks

 

[redmarine]

I downloaded firefox 3.0 and now it's not working(woohoo) on vista. I am disappointed.

It works great on my Vista so there must be something wrong with yours.
If I had to choose between Opera and Firefox 3.0 I would choose Firefox because it seems cooler and it fills all my needs. Firefox will own Opera in all ways possible once the final version gets released! Or at least one day. Don't worry mate.
Anyways I've used version 3 for some weeks now and it is so cool! Firefox 3 FTW!

I don't really understand you stop arguing with him.
1st reason is that he isn't responding
2nd reason is that you say you don't want to.

*On-Topic* I also like that when downloading files it scans for vira.

 

[Andriejj]

Now check out Opera 9.50, if you want to be objective

Yeah, that feature is cool. Does it take the advantage of our anti-viruses' ability to detect them and eradicate them?

 

[Fimbus]

I actually don't know. Maybe it just notify you if it finds vira in the file you are downloading and then ask if you still want to download it.
I don't really know since I haven't tried yet.

It gives a small kick and it seems to works well. Haven't encountered any viruses yet.

Hey now, IE is perfectly fine if you're just a casual internet user. Damn, i don't need any heavy duty crap so it worked fine.
I only downloaded FF because I kept D/Cing from Hive/Chat, but I'm using it now.

 

[wyrmlord]

Hey now, IE is perfectly fine if you're just a casual internet user.

The problem with Internet Explorer as it is currently is it doesn't support many web standards that every other web browser does. While you may not care because all web sites work for you, it means additional work on the website developers because they must develop a site that follows web standards and then mess with their code until it finally works with Internet Explorer. Now, if Internet Explorer was never used or followed web standards as well as the other browsers, it would considerably reduce the work that website developers have to do.

 

[emperor_d3st]

I don't understand how can Microsoft's IE be so ugly, bad and useless. I haven't seen FireFox 3.0 yet but I'm sure Opera 9.5 beats the crap out of it.
I hate internet browser wars because people just don't give a damn about any other browser but their own chosen favourite.. It's like religious zealotry.
With Opera you can browse the web and mine data more efficiently than with FF, and Opera has more and better advanced features. FireFox has a much better marketing and has Addons, but Opera has all the good features packed in the default software and it also has widgets.

 

[Andriejj]

Agreed. I bet ady_illidan didn't even use Opera.

Btw, how did that Firefox Download Day end? Record beaten?

 

[Alleycat5]

Over 8,000,000 downloads with a very good chance that there is going to be a guiness record

 

[Master334]

WOOT FIREFOX ROCKS MAN WOOT... hehe... ...

 

[Zombie]

downloaded

 

[Alleycat5]

/15

 

[Devine]

rofl a friend of mine downloaded it 140 times Oo

 

[JanSze]

hmm i used opera for a browsergame because there are some features in opera which are SO gerat for that. But only for that i think So i use FF usually. Downladoed it at the first day, btw

 

[SantaBla]

Currently using Avant, dropped FireFox for some time.

 

[Alleycat5]

This is officialy an old thread, an mods want to close?

 

[Hakeem]

Any updates on the download day that we should hear about?

Man, I hope this doesn't get user-request closed like a lot of threads have been lately.
Seriously, you don't need to close a thread for it to die.
