Just a heads-up to Firefox users who aren’t running version 3.0 yet …

Mozilla is getting ready to push Firefox 3.0.1 on all users still running version 2.0.x.

Users will be able to postpone or decline the update.

My thoughts on Firefox 3.0 can be found here.

If you’re a Firefox user and you’re not already running 3.0, why have your stuck with the old version so far? Will you upgrade?
