Just FYI

If u already have a beta version, just hit *check for downloads*
its worth it apparently, new speed improvements and memory leak fixes amongst other things

or if ur are IE or Safari or Opera user...

just download it here

Rumor has it that it's pretty buggy so I guess those who are willing to, can wait for a stable version rather than a beta version.

SP1 isn't that great for Vista. I RC tested it and found that it just caused issues with stuff. It also made my RAM usage increase. This Firefox 3 Beta is nice but since the add-ons I have are not compatible with it I will not use it until the final release.

I would get beta 3 if it didn't automatically downgrade me back to v2. When I tried beta 2, it somehow deleted all my user files, leaving me to have to go back and get everything all over again. Nope, I think I'll wait til v3 is out.

I like my plugins to much to use Beta 3. I can't wait for it to get released. For some odd reason my firefox doesn't like to download anything off the web, so I have to switch browsers everytime I want to be sure an item downloads.
