Firefox 3.6 is Almost Done, RC1 Download Here
Yes, we're using that picture again.
Congratulations Firefox 3.5, you're the most popular browser version in the world… until the next one comes out, that is, and that will be very soon now!
Over the weekend, Mozilla released what could be the final version of Firefox 3.6. Those who have been running the Firefox 3.6 beta will notice that your browser will have updated itself to the Release Candidate. Before reaching this milestone, Firefox 3.6 went through five beta versions.
Mozilla says that this new release candidate may update itself periodically, and will eventually be exactly the same as the final Firefox 3.6 release itself.
New upgrades in Firefox 3.6 over 3.5 are:
* Users can change the browser’s appearance with a single click using Personas.
* Firefox 3.6 alerts users about out of date plugins to keep them safe.
* Changes to how third-party software integrates with Firefox to increase stability.
* Improved automatic form fill provides better options from your form history.
* Open, native video can now be displayed full screen, and supports poster frames.
* Support for the WOFF font format.
* Improved JavaScript performance, overall browser responsiveness and startup time.
* The ability to run scripts asynchronously to speed up page load times.
* Support for the HTML5 File API
* Support for new CSS, DOM and HTML5 web technologies.

To mention about memory leaks.... Urg, I'm about ready to change to a new browser because of this issue alone.
No mention of a memory leak fix, urg. I'm about ready to switch to a new browser because of this issue alone.
^The above proves there is a need for an edit button.
great, then i'll have to wait for all my add-ons to get updated yet again. yay.
You're reading my mind.. Yet, I'm still not tired of it...
Been using Firefox sense 0.3 Will always be my browser of choice.

It's just not right. If you make a typo, chance is everyone knows what you were meaning to say/type.
That picture: yes, it's very nice
Firefox 3.6: awesome, can't wait. I like google but firefox is better imo than chrome.
Please, let if fix time-outs/lock-ups with FF3.5.7! I expect that from IE but no FF Sheesh!!

Huh? No offense intended, but that is a very silly remark. There are plenty of sites that allow logged in users to edit their own comments. And not all boards are moderated.
I'm just about done with my new build. I think I'll give Firefox a try just to see what its like.
another update??? is anyone else growing tired of these waaayy too frequent updates?? starting to annoy me like advertisement pop-ups. I guess I could just uninstall it . . . ok rant over

I do, but I also can set them up so that they don't happen too often... Freedom they call it
I honestly don't mind the updates. It's not like you can't hang on to an older version if you want to.
I'm always interested in what has been improved - I've rarely been disappointed by firefox and its updates.

Agreed. Chrome is light weight - maybe too light weight. It just doesn't feel right using chrome. I have all my cool extensions on firefox! I have to admit though chrome is catching up on extensions with the latest beta but there are some pages which still has issue with chrome. Also I hate that chrome doesn't give a warning before closing multiple tabs.
Personally I like living on the absolute cutting edge and go with 3.7 prealpha...Wicked fast IMO even against Chrome 4 beta. Regarding the addon incompatibilities with new versions...just install the Nightly Tester Tools addon and it will allow you to override the compatibility checks. Every addon I have works well with 3.7 anyways.
i agree,what about memory leaks?!?!
that is one big problem FF has
Isn't the winamp browser the best?
Wth, winamp browser?
Won't I jsut be able ot update to Firefox 3.6 after its released?
I hate changing my settings after an install.
If Firefox girl comes with the DL ill get it, otherwise ill wait for the official release.
messed up my addons several times.

Forums, my threads as I remember.
re: the tired old bimbo pic
Is Yam fifteen, or is he just trying to get his daughter laid?
Again the babe is just stunning to look at (and probably even more to own).
Ow, there was an article?

Haley Emy Bickers is not my daughter and I don't think she has any problem getting the attention she wants.

tmike, you have just been rocked by Marcus Yam.
gosh, I wouldnt mind playing with her firefox...
Back to FF, its slow, just like IE, fix that!
the memory leaks are terrible in FF... over 1GB of memory used by FF after a day of having it open with youtube up.

Considering Firefox take over 3x as long to startup as Chrome, I just can't get into it except on my Linux machine. Usually I just want to load it up, search for something, find it, close it. Chrome just does that way faster. The plug-ins need to come around for Chrome though and then it will be sweet.
This is why I like use PortableApp application. I can have the stable release AND the latest RC installed side-by-side without one affecting the other.
