Yesterday we learned that Firefox version 3 finally has an official launch date. But what does that mean to those of us who develop for the Web, and for the end user?

Jason posted a couple of weeks ago about the release candidate for Firefox 3. We now have an official launch date for the final version of Firefox version 3. The Mozilla developers announced last night that it is their “… expectation to ship Firefox 3 this upcoming Tuesday, June 17th.”
