Firefox 3.0.1 was just released. This release was mainly for bug fixes and whatnot and would be suggested to download and install if you generally use Firefox.


Here's the information from the release notes:

QUOTE (Firefox 3.0.1 Release Notes)
Firefox 3.0.1 fixed several issues found in Firefox 3.
  • Fixed several security issues.
  • Fixed several stability issues.
  • Fixed an issue where the phishing and malware database did not update on first launch.
  • Under certain circumstances, Firefox 3.0 did not properly save the SSL certificate exceptions list.
  • Updated the internal Public Suffix list.
  • In certain cases, installing Firefox 2 in the same directory in which Firefox 3 has been installed resulted in Firefox 2 being unstable. This issue was fixed as part of Firefox 2.0.0.15.
  • Fixed an issue where, when printing a selected region of content from the middle of a page, some of the output was missing (bug 433373).
  • Fixed a Linux issues where, for users on a PPP connection (dialup or DSL) Firefox always started in "Offline" mode (bug 424626).

I don't see any harm in keeping people informed.

But doesn't Firefox pop up with a little box saying that it is out and you should update?

People can do it themselves. The point of a thread is to discuss, and I really don't see the discussion value in Firefox 3.0.1.

Mine is right in the center of the screen, for both Mac and PC versions, but w/e. This is a pointless topic, however. Firefox informs you, as we have stated, so no need to clutter up the forums with new software updates...

If you don't see the point in the discussion, then don't reply yourself and allow the thread to go 7 days. rolleyes.gif

Some people have been waiting for a bugfix in FF3 because they have been having problems with FF 3.0.0 so this thread looks perfectly fine to me. Since I don't use FF3, I don't know for sure, but in FF2, you have the option to automatically check for updates. If you don't have it set to automatic, then of course you wouldn't know.
