the final will be out sometime in June. Firefox 3 RC1 released few hours back. You will get the update for this in a day or two

No, I don't think Fx3 final will be in hardy backports, I think it will be in hardy updates ;) Or more precisely, hardy-updates.

Will it be available for Gutsy? I don't plan on installing Hardy (again) until 8.04.1 is released.

I will make best effort attempt to backport the hardy-updates tree to gutsy again.

Most probably RC will be the final release if there are no problems

Speaking of which, since I haven't really kept track...

How long do the Ubuntu devs hold up on releasing new versions of Firefox? Is it generally around two-three days, or a week?

Usually around a week... officially, as long as it takes for us to be confident nothing is broken :)

I've already updated the firefox 3 in windows, but I still have to wait for two more days with Ubuntu? :(

I am not worried about bit being in the repositories or not as I can just test it by downloading the tar.
