Wow…I didn’t know Firefox 3.1 beta was coming out today, awesome need to check it out once it’s out.
The schedule on their site still says that it’s supposed to come out today, but I haven’t seen them put out a test version of Firefox 3.1 Beta to make sure there’s no critical bugs before releasing it. My guess is that it probably won’t be until next week.
