    How does Mozilla choose its release numbers? 2 went 2.0.0.1 and up and now 3 will start with 3.1?

    I don't exactly remember which web page it was, but Mozilla numbers it's releases based on what changes it makes. I think it was the first number for changes to Gecko, the second for stability, the third for API and the last for security.

    Interesting. I saw the article mentioned that it planned on using Gecko 1.9.1, so that would explain the .1 update.

    It also explains why they went from 2.0 to 2.0.0.1 to 2.0.0.2 and so on.

    I used FF3 on my laptop, but not on my desktop because I need the Roboform Plugin. Plus Foxmarks doesn't work yet. I hope by the final release these do work because FF3 is very nice so far.

    Yeah I saw it was in beta. Either way I am going to wait until everything is supported.

    FF3 RC1 could be the final version unless their are major bugs in it.
