Default [ars technica] Firefox 3 exceeds 1 million downloads in under four hours
Quote:
Firefox 3, the long-awaited update of Mozilla's open source web browser was released earlier today. The download counter, which is projected on a large display screen here at Mozilla headquarters in Mountain View, CA, has been churning numbers at a rapid pace all morning. The display shows that Firefox has now exceeded 1 million downloads, with between 5,000 and 14,000 downloads per minute.

Users can follow along at home by watching the counter at the .

My FF3's download thing is messed up. I have it set so it downloads things to the desktop, but it won't work. It downloads things, but doesn't like save it. I can see it in the download list but it won't open, and it doesn't exist on the desktop.

>.<
And Adblock Plus nor Noia Extreme theme work! The 2 best FF addons don't work yet! I must go slit my wrists, afk.

j/k
I know they'll eventually update em to FF3.

Nothing major I would think... maybe fixed a few bugs... optimized the code a bit etc.
