As you may have noticed, Firefox 3 is released today. Excited by this prospect, the first thing I did when I got up was to rush to my computer to download it (yes, pathetic, I know). And what do I find? That only Firefox 2 is on offer. I go to the main Download Day 2008 site, and for all its flash/Flash zoomable graphics, I can't find any information about exactly when Firefox 3 will be publicly available, which seems crazy: the one thing this site should be doing is making it easy for as many people as possible to download Firefox 3.

I went to Mozilla's Firefox download page and there it was Firefox 3.0 for Linux, mac and Windows
Same here.....No problem finding it at all.
It was because of the time of availability. Heaven forbid admins get some sleep at night. :)
Tell me about it.
I sleep during the day. ;)

I've seen what the author is talking about though. 10 AM pacific time is when it was said it will be released, which was 7 PM my time. Almost an hour if not more later it was still offering Firefox 2.

I guess it's not a big deal, but you know.. if you've been planning something like this for so long and want to make a world record in the number of downloads then you might as well take every single minute of those 24 hours you can get instead of being a whole hour late... though I guess they can just count the amount of time they've been late longer than the end hour. :P

Cheers
