Well ATM it's optional in Ubuntu hardy(unless they recently changed it) but it's easy to just download the beta3 tar and run it, thats what I do if the distro dont have the package.
I'm personally not a big fan of Mandriva but it's got some great feature and stuff coming, just find it hard to recommend over the others somewhat.

Well, Firefox 3 isn't out yet. I've been trying it out under Ubuntu and, for me at least, it's been a pretty buggy experience. The Linux version of FF3 seems to be lagging behind the Windows version. I can't understand any distro committing to include it by default in it's current state.

FF 3 is not scheduled to even be available as a final version by the time we release MDV 2008 (early April) - much less by the time we hit feature freeze (which was, well, yesterday).
if its good enough for fedora to include a beta or RC of Firefox3 at final time of the fedora9 final an they update ff3 to the final for everyone, why cant Mandriva? surely a final version can be pushed through to the updates . just seems like Mandriva is still lacking behind, an i have to ask myself why i dont use Mandriva, maybe Mandriva needs a longer testing schedule to get these updates in,
