Or if you go to http://www.msfirefox.com this one's great....

I downloaded FF 3.0 on the very day it was supposed to or trying to break the record. Did not have any error messages & the downloads went smoothly.

Although most extensions that I use are compatible or have updated versions for FF3 the one I use the most - i.e. IDM integration will not work & for that reason alone I have a second window open in IE. I simply copy paste the url & it works BETTER. The plugin for IDM in Firefox allows either only a single url or ALL on the page to be added to the IDM queue IE allows selected urls to be added to the que and above else checks the validity of the links.

I will be reverting back to FF 2.xxx over the weekend but will continue to use the IDM integration feature on IE.

Anybody listening at Mozilla !!!!!
