is it really FF3 ?
I downloaded it but the Build Identifier looks old:

Build identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9) Gecko/2008052912 Firefox/3.0
The one I have in ubuntu says:

Build identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9) Gecko/2008061015 Firefox/3.0
The ubuntu compile looks more recent but it may reflect the date the ubuntu team compiled it.
The May 29th doesn't look good to me.
Also the EULA states May 2008.

I've downloaded the EN-US one from :

a) the getfirefox.com website stating it's the final 3.0
b) the "alternate" download link on that very same page
c) the ftp -> ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/re...3.0/linux-i686

and the size is the same (9083705 bytes).

So.. is this the FINAL 3.0 or still a release candidate ???

UPDATE: also the getfirefox.com states the download should be 9.2Mb big. The automatic downloaded file is 8.7Mb.

Definitely something is not working here.

UPDATE2: even worse, the date of the directories related to the 3.0 release have been created on June 17th (the release date), but the compressed file has been created June 10th! The date the RC3 has been released...in fact, the size of the two files is EXACTLY the same.

Did I discover the warm water or does it simply mean that the RC3 BECAME the 3.0 without any additional patch ?
