Don’t forget, today (Tuesday) is Firefox 3 release day. Help them achieve a Guinness Book record for the most downloaded software in 24 hours by getting a copy of Firefox 3. Most people would wait for the OpenSUSE package, but a lot of us have other machines to run Firefox 3 on: PCs, Macs. Watch this site:
it is still monday here but will tomorrow
Tuesday UCT 9.10 - not yet available for download 
I’ve subscribed to their e-mail so ill know when it is! I’ll try to shove it up here too.
Nownow, you can’t blame them for not bothering to think there’s a world outside USA

I have subscribed to it as well and will do the needful.
Will the release have those new slick looking themes I have seen people working on?
It will have tango and blend in with gtk, if you use the gtk-qt-engine, it will blend in with qt

Downloaded it 2x already: 1x at home, 1x at work. I will try to convince some colleagues to install it as well (some already have FF2). The servers were very slow the first 2 hours or so, I couldn’t get in and my first download was corrupt.
Now it’s running fine it seems.

i got mine but can’t find ONE WORD on how to install it on my SuSE 10.3!
it comes in a *tar.bz2, in which i expected to find the source to
compile/install OR an rpm…instead, it kinda looks like a ready to
run executable…so, how am i supposed to install that??
strange!

I see the cool theme on my windows install at work, but not on my opensuse 11.0 RC1 installation at home (just updated the packages). Do I need to dowmload and re-install the theme?
firefox tries to ‘blend in’ with the OS it’s on, on linux it uses tango/gtk, you can make it tango/qt, if you install gtk-qt-engine, and enable it
