Correct me if I am completely off base here, but when Hardy Heron launched it already came with the beta of Firefox 3 installed. When the update manager runs, it automatically notifies the user and downloads the new version. So to all those Ubuntu or other Linux users, it was just a matter of another update on Download Day whether they were aware of it or not. On OSX and Windows, a user would have either have to have known about the final version being released or have had Firefox check for updates and tell them, which in my experience can take a couple of days. Plus, as others have already kind of said, Linux users are typically much more involved with their OS and up on technology and open-source things, so they would probably have been much more aware of Download Day than anyone.
