Today is Download Day and Firefox is trying for a Guinness record. Firefox 3 was released today and is, so far, an incredible update to my favorite browser. http://getfirefox.comRecord page: http://www.spreadfirefox.com/en-US/worldrecord/ |

Yeah, not sure the internet's infrastructure is ready for a record like this. Basically inviting the equivalent of a DOS attack. ;)
Coming up on 3 million downloads, so far, which is cool. |

On another board non-geeks are having problems with image handling. Cut and paste (other than text) from FF to Corel Draw X3 got busted. Wondering... Does FF3 play the videos in the BVC manual? FF2 won't. http://www.bvsoftware.co...uct/Product-Choices.htmlI'll wait til the dust clears. |

8.2 million downloads in one day is the tally. Wow. Originally Posted by: "MitchA" Wondering... Does FF3 play the videos in the BVC manual? FF2 won't. Not a browser issue, BV is missing a config file on those pages. |

Which seems to be the case for a lot of browser releases, oddly enough. This one affects older versions, as well, so at least this version didn't introduce the issue. |
