Walter Meinl has uploaded Firefox 3.0.7 to the Netlabs FTP server Incoming directory.  Firefox 3 is Mozilla's next generation web browser based on the Gecko 1.9 platform.  Keep in mind that Firefox 3 releases still do not print to a printer.  Instead printing will create a pdf  file on your desktop which you can then open in Lucide or Acrobat and then print.  There are also some font issues which are covered in the os2.README file.
