More that Mozilla are going for the World Record. And all us FF users are glad to help them out! </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/field-guide-to-ff3#post-29348 Tue, 17 Jun 2008 16:37:03 +0000 whs 29348@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>No problem with the product. I was just elaborating on the fact that everyone wants to get in the first day - Download day. That is the Beaujolais Nouveau craze. All over the world, people are lining up that specific day in November when this cheap Beaujolais get shipped to them and sold for an outrageous price. And at 12.01 AM that day they can finally open the bottles. The day before they could have bought a much better wine for less money - but no - it must be on that day and that shipment. I guess the good part with FF3 is, that at least it does not cost any. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/field-guide-to-ff3#post-29344 Tue, 17 Jun 2008 14:47:02 +0000 ScottW 29344@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>As a teetotaler, I had to look up Beuajolais Nouveau to find out what the craze was. So, are you saying that downloading this free software is like buying wine because of marketing hype? If I and some other "adult people" fall for this dastardly Mozilla scheme, we are not behaving like adults?</p> <p>I think Firefox 3 is an exciting product release even if there was no Download Day. But I will probably become inebriated with the new features and continue to spend my hard-earned money on more and more copies of this free product.<br /> <img src='http://www.emotty.com/images/emoticons/656.png' /> </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/field-guide-to-ff3#post-29336 Tue, 17 Jun 2008 12:58:22 +0000 whs 29336@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>That all sounds to me like the Beaujolais Nouveau craze. It always amazed me, how adult people can fall for that. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/field-guide-to-ff3#post-29278 Tue, 17 Jun 2008 04:28:40 +0000 Scott 29278@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Tracking and Scheduling<br /> <a href='http://wiki.mozilla.org/Releases/Firefox_3.0'>http://wiki.mozilla.org/Releases/Firefox_3.0</a> </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/field-guide-to-ff3#post-29270 Tue, 17 Jun 2008 03:24:57 +0000 Scott 29270@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>I shall download and run the Portable App version on an SD card tomorrow.<br /> (Should be 3.0 by then, <a href='http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable'>http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable</a>)</p> <p><a href="http://imageshack.us"><img src="http://img175.imageshack.us/img175/1186/firefoxversusietheiconbek5.png"></a> </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/field-guide-to-ff3#post-29269 Tue, 17 Jun 2008 03:09:50 +0000 ScottW 29269@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>10 am?
