Tue, 24 Nov 2009 03:24:03 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 en hourly 1 Firefox 3.02 Final http://www.ghacks.net/2008/09/23/firefox-302-final/ http://www.ghacks.net/2008/09/23/firefox-302-final/#comments Tue, 23 Sep 2008 20:24:31 +0000 Martin http://www.ghacks.net/?p=7182 Mozilla started distributing the final version of Firefox 3.02 to various major and minor mirror sites. This is the usual process before they release the notification on the homepage about the new version. The Check for Updates feature will show the new version usually 0-24 hours later.

Firefox users who cannot wait can head straight to the main list of Firefox mirror sites and pick a mirror next to their location to download the latest official version of Firefox.

Download Squad reported that it is a beta release that got released today but this is obviously not true since Firefox 3.02 is available in the Firefox release directory of the Mozilla ftp site which indicates that this is the final version and not a beta release.

Users who cannot find the download need to follow the path firefox/releases/3.0.2/ on the ftp mirrors to find the release that they can download. The download is available for all supported operating systems and in all languages.

The release notes are still mentioning changes of the beta version of Firefox 3.02 but will surely be updated soon with the release information which should not be that different. Some interesting changes are several security and stability fixes, minor layout issues and hangs & crashes when using screen readers.

Don’t be afraid when the What’s new page is still referring to Firefox 3.02 beta. This page has not been updated as well.

Versions for all operating systems (Windows, Linux and Macintosh) and languages can be downloaded as of now from the official ftp site. If you get a to many connections message try out this mirror ftp site.

Cautious or inexperienced users should wait for the official announcement but early adopters should go for it. This is the release version and not some nightly build.

The latest versions always appear first on ftp and on the mirror sites before it gets announced on the official Firefox website. Update Information become available at the same time the homepage gets the update.

The official release notes have not been updated as well making it hard to determine the exact number of changes and fixes that have been added to Firefox 2.0.0.3. The normal update procedure will most likely become available anytime soon. You can download Firefox 2.0.0.3 for all supported operating systems and languages.
