APNG's are going to be the new .gifs , they have support for a dynamic alpha channel. meaning you can blend a drop shadow from text into your header , even if your header changes colour

I'm signed up to download :V. I just hope Forecastfox and Mouse Gestures are already compatible.

I've already pledged. They're hoping for about 5 million DL today when it comes out. Plus there is no record for most downloads in one day.

Is this just gonna auto patch if I'm on the RC for 3?


Re: Help set the world record for most software downloads in a day! - Surf314 - 06-17-2008

Is this going to be available?  Ever? Or are the wading through a bunch of molten metal slag and plastic goo that used to be their servers?

Use Foxmarks (an extension). It'll back up all your bookmarks on someone else's shit; you've got no excuse for losing your bookmarks now  Tongue

Am I the only one who's having trouble making the BRB forum stay on "forever logged in" ?  I'm having to relog every time I visit after installing Firefox 3.
