it's now there for linux OSes. now we just have to wait for the Mac and Win versions to be produced.

From the QA plan, it looks like we'll see a release next week:

Strictly for curiosity's sake, I thought I'd install from here: http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/ ... ned/win32/

Working great so far. Curiosity got the best of me.

am i the only one getting an access denied error when trying to dl the win32 build? (other oses such us linux work fine)

[James]

The .zip build works if you must. Just extract it in its own folder and do not install it over a previous installer build otherwise you may have unwanted crashes due to mixing.

I also got that when i tried to download through the ftp link.
But using the http link you can download normally. Strangely, the http is now redirecting to that wiki page, but if you use https you can still access: https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org ... n32/en-US/

Thanks. And this one...? - Embedded flash player 'overlays' the FF window if you scroll while it's playing. If you scroll before playing it seems to be OK.
