You get to help set a world record and update Firefox! It's a win/win situation.

Is there any indication of when the final version will be released? They'll have a much better chance of beating the download record if everyone knows well in advance, me thinks. images/smilies/yes.gif

If you pledge it sends you an email to notify you of the release date as well as a reminder when the day arrives.

Would you honestly plan your schedule around the launch if you knew what day it was going to be? images/smilies/tongue.gif

I'm guessing they will give a date as it gets closer. But regardless, there's rarely a day that goes by where I'm not online for atleast a little bit, so it's not that big of a deal to me what day it is.

Add another one. It's incredible, more people have pledged in the UK than in the whole of Russia, or Canada.

I didn't like the beta at all, but I'll probably like the final release. I'm not losing anything if I don't, I love FF2 as it is. images/smilies/smile.gif
