Every single time a new Firefox version is about to come out, someone jumps the gun and writes a blog post like this, linking directly to a single Mozilla FTP server. Usually, they're actually linking to a release candidate anyway, but as a matter of practice, you should use the links that Mozilla provides on the Firefox download page in order to take advantage of their system of mirrors (e.g., http://www.mozilla.com/products/download.html?product=firefox-3.6.15&os=osx&lang=en-US http://www.mozilla.com/products/download.html?product=firefo...).
- patrickaljord 16y agoIn this case if you're running the RC, you're already running 4.0.
- SaltwaterC 16y agoThese actually work: OSX: http://www.mozilla.com/products/download.html?product=firefox-4.0&os=osx&lang=en-US http://www.mozilla.com/products/download.html?product=firefo... Win: http://www.mozilla.com/products/download.html?product=firefox-4.0&os=win&lang=en-US http://www.mozilla.com/products/download.html?product=firefo... Linux: http://www.mozilla.com/products/download.html?product=firefox-4.0&os=linux&lang=en-US http://www.mozilla.com/products/download.html?product=firefo... However, they're the same as RC2 (sha1sum confirms). Not uncommon though for Mozilla to release a RC as stable version without any modifications besides the version bump.
- whacker 16y agoIf the version was bumped, the sha1sum ought to be different no?
- SaltwaterC 16y agoI was talking about an older major release (3.0 and 3.0 RC2 were identical IIRC). Even 4.0 RC1 had Firefox/4.0 into the user agent string as well as into the About panel.
- cfinke 16y agoOnce it hits RC stage, version bumps are in the filename only.
