Just released today. I've been running the betas and release candidates for some time now and am quite pleased with it.
Faster javascript/page rendering, private browsing (aka porn mode), cool new video features and more... http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox...refox-3.5.html
For those of you who have Firefox and want to upgrade, just select "Check for Updates" in the Help menu.
And of course, you can always download it at http://www.mozilla.com/

My ISP has a range of "up to" 2MB - "up to" 100 MB/sec. I only have the slowest and cheapest connection, but FF 3.5 seems to work fine, and I like the added native support for Ogg compression. Proprietary formats are becoming obsolete.

| | no really, smokemeth&hailsatan | | Join Date: Dec 2005 Location: Pueblo, CO | | A bit faster. I'll have to check it out for a bit. I lost my old theme though. 
Oh well, time for a change I guess. |

Currently FF has the edge with me, if mainly because of the excellent Adblock Plus plugin, which Opera has no real match for. I still run the Opera 10 beta version to check it out, and it's very promising. The memory leaks that caused v9 to crash after weeks online appear to have been fixed.
FF has now adopted the "+" button for opening a new tab, but not yet the "Duplicate tab" command, which I often find convenient in Opera.

EXAR pedals rep for North & Central America | | Join Date: Oct 2005 Location: PDX, OR | | | I'm actually DL'ing Firefox 2 right now because I have gotten so sick of the slow page loads with FF3. I see a couple of posts above saying "a little faster", but is that like saying the tortoise is "a little faster" than its old crippled fat cousin tortoise? Or are you guys actually getting fast page loads with 3.5?
I never used to have this problem with FF2, on the same computer, visiting the same sites, through (almost) the same DSL speed. |
