    Yesterday I noticed a Firefox update in Ubuntu and to my surprise it wasn't labeled a RC, it looked like the real thing. So, does this mean that Linux received Firefox3 first? Ahead of Windows?

    I was surprised no one said anything on the forums yesterday, I was waiting for someone to make a thread about this :D

    Ah ok, I see that its rc1 from the package manager. I thought it just said firefox 3 yesterday rather then rc1. Kinda odd that it doesn't say rc like it did for the beta in the about screen.

    Quoted for truth, but it's still good to update to RC3.
