Where are we with Firefox 3?
9 June 2008Thanks to the hard and dedicated work of the Mozilla community Firefox 3 Release Candiate 2 (RC2) shipped last week in an unbelievable 48 languages! RC2 is 15th major milestone on the way to Firefox 3 final release:
At the beginning of 2007 we had approximately 25k daily users of the early FF3 builds, that number grew to 50k as we approached Alpha 8 and last week there we over 2,000,000 daily users of Firefox 3. The daily public builds, many many major milestones, and thousands to millions of testers are all part of our process to ensure that Firefox 3 is the best browser you’ve ever used. We are still collecting feedback on RC2 and putting the final touches on the assoicated web sites around the Firefox 3 - but the final version is coming very soon.

Is a third release candidate likely at this point?

how do you measure the daily usage?

Bug 436575 may cause an RC3 on Mac. It’s a bug in Mac OS X introduced in a recent update (Mac OS X 10.5.3), but Apple hasn’t shown any sign that they’re planning to fix it quickly.

Glob there is a good explanation of how we estimate usage here: http://john.jubjubs.net/2007/11/27/mozilla-firefox-market-share/

at http://john.jubjubs.net/2007/11/27/mozilla-firefox-market-share/
it was mentioned that there was a 10% drop in usage after a security update. Did anyone figure out what was causing that?

2 millions… YAY!

Do you have a per-platform (Windows, OS X, Linux) breakdown for it?
June 10th, 2008 at 6:49 am
Colin it is approximately 91% windows, 8% mac and < 1% linux. Although we are pretty sure this estimate under counts Linux since many distro’s turn off our update service to use their own.

great graph! this is so exciting!

I hate firefox 3 personally. Is there any way to go back to the 2.0 version?

Another comment specially for dubed. Remember that Silverlight 1.1 basically is a JS driven canvas.

Fabulous. Mozilla site should have a page for “next-generation web awesomeness examples.

It’s funny that you made a .swf to publicize this work. Maybe you can get Jing to create screencasts using the tag with fallback to swf for lesser browsers.
December 10th, 2008 at 8:46 pm
Well, this poor chap has to wait an eon anyway as my downloads rarely exceed 5k/sec being on a dialup modem, yes there are places that still have no better than a basic copper telephone wire to connect to the internet
December 10th, 2008 at 8:47 pm
so I clicked on the image, after all it said it would run the demo in 1 minute, so I waited 3 minutes, but it still didn’t happen??
December 10th, 2008 at 8:48 pm
maybe someone will put the pictures into words, or a series of screenshots to explain the improvements??? it would certainly be appreciated.
December 10th, 2008 at 8:49 pm
I agree with Al: I have DSL, but still, viewing the movie was painful. I am right now downloading the full 33mb SWF file hoping it will be enough to see it on the browser.

thanks for it
