Not trying to play into the war and say one is better then the other but I don't see how opera is faster?
I click a link and the page opens as fast as my computer can get the data. I have a good connection now, and the page opens as close to as instantly as I can detect...

I didn't do any pledges or anything special, but I did download it (and at a decent speed) from the official page.

I noticed a great difference from FireFox 2 to Opera.

Not tried FF3.

Yep, downloaded it, and it loads much quicker when starting it.  I <3 FF3!  My only gripe is with the makers of the ad block add-on, I wish they'd hurry up and make it compatible, I'm getting sick and tired of looking at ads again, and it's only been 3 days! :S

The official Mozilla Blog reports that there were over eight million downloads of Mozilla Firefox 3 in the twenty-four hours after release, despite the widespread server availability problems. The Spread Firefox Download Day 2008 page has an interactive map showing the numbers of downloads in different countries and Mozilla Corporation CEO John Lilly has a weblog post with more statistics from Firefox 3's first twenty-four hours.

Once the exact figure has been determined and verified by Mozilla's own judges and officials from Guinness World Records, Firefox 3 will be declared the holder of the world record for the most software downloads in twenty-four hours (since the record doesn't exist yet, there's no real doubt that it will be awarded to Firefox 3). The Download Day FAQ has more details about the specifics of the record attempt.

The Blog of Metrics, run by the metrics and analytics team at Mozilla, reports that Firefox 3 had a market share of around four percent at the end of Download Day, based on hour-by-hour tracking of Firefox 3's market share by Net Applications (it was around 0.96 percent when Net Applications began tracking). By comparison, it took Firefox 2 a month to reach 3.62 percent.

They got a Cake!

IE Sends Mozilla a New Cake for Firefox 3

Sean from Microsoft came by just a few minutes ago to drop off a cake for the Internet Explorer team. As people may recall, the IE team sent Mozilla a cake after Firefox 2 shipped and it seems that they wanted to continue the tradition.

Sean and I used to work together and I happened to be the one that saw him as he came in so he presented the cake to me and John Lilly and we then took it around to staff. I think people found it amusing and the “E” portion of the Firefox 2 cake, which is preserved in our freezer to this day, was pulled out for comparison. I must say, the new cake is much nicer (and much less brown) than the old one.

Here are a couple of photos from Rob:
