Every one of Mozilla's sites are taking a hammering right now, all are down or dog slow.

I'm going to dl it now and then if the site comes back up I'll dl it officially later. Here's a local link if anyone wants it:

Can that be the official final release though? Why is the date on that link 11 June?

This is the message I get:

Repairs in Progress

The service you're looking for is unavailable at the moment. We'll be back up and running again before long, so please try again soon. Thanks for your patience!

Yay I'm in but there's no link on the page to the actual download.

I think it is, not sure why its showing that date though. That site's an official Mozilla mirror.

One directory up it shows 17 June:

http://mozilla.mirror.ac.za/firefox/releases/3.0/win32/

Just installed it and it seems like the final version to me:

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-GB; rv:1.9) Gecko/2008052906 Firefox/3.0

Looks good too, now I just need a new theme.

I got an email telling me to download it but on the download page it directs me to:http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox?p=downloadday That is Firefox 2.

I also just got that...

Today you'll make history with Firefox

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.

 

[Syndyre]

No it looks like it couldn't handle the load lol.

If you're inviting someone to something, it must mean that you're an existing member.
