Starting on Monday evening, users with the latest version of Firefox 2 will receive an automated offer to update to Firefox 3. If you’re running Firefox 2.0.0.17 you will see the offer in the next couple of days, but if you’re eager you can always “Check for Updates” in the “Help” menu. The Firefox team has posted extensive details about this update over on the Mozilla Developer News weblog if you would like more information.

Rhian Baker writes, “It’s time for another Monthly Meetup. This month’s meetup will be Thursday, August 28th, 6pm at the Twitter office — 539 Bryant St. Suite 402, San Francisco. There will be progress updates on the various active Labs projects as well as plenty of opportunity for discussion and hacking. And, of course, pizza. If you are in the Bay Area, we’d love to see you!” If you’re planning to attend, please take a moment to RSVP by commenting on the Mozilla Labs weblog.
