FireFox 3.0 Download Day

[Kevin]

If you're trying to download the new FireFox 3.0 gold release today but can't connect because the servers are so busy, here are the direct download links.

Windows: http://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-3.0&os=win&lang=en-US

Mac: http://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-3.0&os=osx&lang=en-US

Linux: http://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-3.0&os=linux&lang=en-US

For our UK friends, change "en-US" to "en-GB" for the localized version.

If anybody has upgraded to FF 3.0 and suddenly found themselves unable to log into their Google account using the Google Toolbar, then try adding google.com to your list of allowed cookie domains.

Tools => Options => Privacy => Cookies | Exceptions

I have third party cookies turned off on my machines and this was blocking from the Google Toolbar from working correctly; adding them as an exception fixed the problem.

Bored? Type "about:robots" into your FF3 URL bar.

Lifehacker is a history of the visual changes from Firefox 1.0 thru Firefox 3.0 which also serves as a nice little way of highlighting some of the changes with the new 3.0 release.
