Release Date For Firefox 3

It’s gone through betas and two Release Candidate versions to hopefully iron out all the bugs and ensure the features work properly. Now Mozilla has announced that its new Firefox 3 browser will get a full release next Tuesday, June 17.
In a statement the organization said:

"After more than 34 months of active development, and with the contributions of thousands, we’re proud to announce that we’re ready. It is our expectation to ship Firefox 3 this upcoming Tuesday, 17 June. Put on your party hats and get ready to download Firefox 3 — the best web browser, period."

Mozilla has already said it hopes to set a Guinness World Record for the number of downloads in a single day when Firefox 3 is released, with at least 1.75 million downloads – although its hopes for figures are set much higher.

To help achieve that it’s been encouraging users to sign up to its marketing arm spreadfirefox.com. Those who sign up will be assured they receive the browser on its release day.

While nothing about the M3 MacBook Pro is official yet, there's been a lot of reporting about what we can expect from these next-gen laptops.

The M3 MacBook Pro may launch sooner than anyone expected

Earlier this week, we learned that Apple’s next batch of Macs loaded with M3 chips could be set to launch in the fall. Today, a fresh report claims they could arrive ahead of schedule -- but there are reasons to be doubtful.

The idea comes from a paywalled DigiTimes report (via MacRumors), which cites “industry sources” to claim that Apple will introduce a new MacBook Pro -- complete with a 3-nanometer Apple silicon chip that will boast improved performance and efficiency -- as soon as the third quarter of 2023. That quarter runs from July 1 until September 30.
