    What? It means it will be Wednesday at 2 AM, not Tuesday for me. I'll probably be sleeping by that time (maybe!). I want a fixed link for FF3, and we can schedule it on our download manager to auto download. :D

    ^ Checked it. It's just the candidate, it's not the full thing. still about 8.5 hours 'til it's officially released.

    No it's not going to be different. It's just the US-version. If you want other language you'll have to wait for Mozilla official release

    Mozilla's welcome tab told me it was a release candidate. "Mozilla 3 Candidate 3."

    So all I know is that, need some confirmation. =/

    A tiny pic doesn't really tell us much, now does it? Anyway, downloading now. FileHippo show RC3 as an "old" version of Firefox.
