Mozilla Releases Firefox 3.6RC2; Final Next Week
A second release candidate hits the web.
Over the holiday weekend, Mozilla released the second release candidate for Firefox 3.6.
At the release candidate stage, major revisions aren't expected, but small tweaks and fixes are part of the process towards the official release.
Those updating from the first release candidate will see that the latest RC2 bump is called a "security and stability update." Grab the download right here.
Other things Mozilla listed as new for this version include:
* Made some changes to how we allow third party software to integrate with Firefox in order to prevent crashes.
* The ability to run scripts asynchronously to speed up page load times.
Look for the final version of Firefox 3.6 to be for everyone a week from today.

Why are people still using Firefox when Chrome is like twice as fast >.>
lol in JavaScript speed there is so much more then just JavaScript on a website. It's where things like FF customization and crap weighs in, but imma still just stick to good old Opera.

Speed isn't everything. Compatibility is kind of a big component too.
Ad Block Plus is the only reason I still use Firefox.
what about those awful memory leaks?!?!?!
Adblock also exists for Chrome, and a lot of plug ins

Unimpressed, I've been using Chrome 4 beta with extension support and I can't say I miss Firefox at all.
p.s, I thought we had an agreement that every Mozilla related article would have the Firefox chick in it?
"Unimpressed, I've been using Chrome 4 beta with extension support and I can't say I miss Firefox at all."
I also use Chrome 4 and FF 3.7 pre-alpha and 3.7 blows Chrome away for real world browsing speeds.

lol well if thats the only reason then you also might want to try Google Chrome. The latest beta release (which is actually very stable) has ability to add extensions and the adblock extension is there
I'm still looking forward to what Firefox would be. But honestly, the only thing that stops me before from using Chrome as default was the lack of addons/extensions.
Memory leaks? These were solved - for good, in the browser at least - in Firefox 3.0, when the allocator was rewritten.
If you still have memory leaks, try updating extensions (some require manual checks) then disabling them one at a time until you find the leaky one.
Firefox 3.6 is supposed to mitigate that problem with extensions, too.
Is ReloadEvery going to be in 3.6 by default? The actual extension is buggy as all hell (it works on some PCs, and not on others, all using Firefox 3.5.7).
I like your information… I have never read like this. You information not only interesting but mean full for me and other peoples who visit your site. But unfortunately I did not write any more due to my study about mcitp dumps because I want to update me in IT field and make me better and better. I did not spend all time at my study, also give time on music, sports and internet browsing for find out more and more great full and latest information. But i like to join you group and happy that i am a part of your group via make an account on your site and reply to your post. Have a nice day!
I love this scanner, but I hate the software. I have the latest version of the software version 4 SP3. The help function is useless. For example if you want to delete a folder you created, the help tells you to select the folder and then use a "delete" option that doesn't exist at neatdesk desktop scanner and digital filing system
