I'm there, but when I click 'Download now blah blah blah British Edition', I get a webpage saying

Http/1.1 Service Unavailable

[DevilMayCry42]

YESSSS!!!

I'm in, downloading now!

[Steven W]

Hmm, so what's different?

I can see that we now have related links in the browser.

When I go on the HEXUS site it has AnandTech in related links. Looks like sites will be inadvertently advertising their competitors. BitTech has HEXUS in related links but not the other way round, nice. I'm on a mission to find which sites have HEXUS as being related.

Anything else?

It does seem faster.

took me to version 2.

took me to version 3

I went through some download link (probably the same one as that) and it downloaded 2.0.0.14 (which incidentally, crashed whenever it tried to start)

Had to boot up good old IE to get back to mozilla and download version 3

I cant see related links on my menu bar. Do you need to customize it or something?

Weird. Related links just appears there, no customisation. I wonder if I've even got the right version. I got it from this page:

I don't have related links either. Got the one off the main page. Also in google and alot of other sites texts mainly appears bold - anyone else getting that?

Well I got FF3 no problem, but I have to say I HATE it, for one simple reason: the [not] awesome bar. I can't stand its method of listing possible sites when you type in the address bar. For example typing "f" should suggest forums.hexus.net, not my weather Forcast.

I know what you mean. I've found myself having to type most of my URLs in again because the 'awesome' bar wasn't awesome.

I like it though. And this one passes the Acid 2 test

There is also the problem with FireFox 3 losing network settings and not remembering proxy settings, the awesome bar I wish I could turn it off without it coming back every time I open FF again. Anyone else had the problem where you click on your favs or the search drop down boxes and all you get is a black box with nothing in it. We've had it across 5 different machines this morning all with different setups and hardware.

This version is utter toss. Going to go back and stick with version 2.x.x.14 and wait till there are a few updates with version 3.

Really weird. Related links is the only new feature I like.

I have noticed font size changes on some pages.

I'm really glad I have company with FF 2.0.x. Seems to me there should be an option to disable the nonstandard address bar functionality since so many people hate it.

Font is all different sizes which is really annoying.

No related links bar for me either and a lot of broken extensions/addons/themes
