Firefox 3.5 RC3 Released

Does anyone know of an addon that will make firefox use IE's rss subscription service? In other words it adds feeds to the central windows feed.

You dont want to use FF addon for rss? you want Ie's right
ken

Im happy to use firefox's addons to get the same job done. I just want the ability to add subscriptions to IEs feed system so I can read them in Windows Live Mail.

Downloading it right now at work. Gonna see how I like it at work before I download it at home.

Edit: I downloaded and installed it at work. I am using it right now.

You know...I want to fall back in love with Firefox and so far I have been impressed with the 3.5 release candidates, but Chrome swept me off my feet with their 2.0 release. These RC's just haven't been enough to sway me back full-time. I simply use Firefox for sites that Chrome has difficulty rendering.

I agree, Chrome is faster and is now my main 'surfing' browser, however I do use Firefox for all the other Video/Download type needs.

I just love firefox's add ons so much, I'll never use another browser. Here's what I use.

Adblock Plus (blocks ads, duh)

Auto pager (automatically displays the 'next page' without having to refresh)

Download status bar (eh, nothing major, just shows your downloads at the bottom of the screen on the bar, its convenient)

Download helper (to download videos)

old bar (changes the address bar back to the way it used to be, just the address, not the page title too.)

Puny url (all I have to do is click the icon, and it automatically shortens a link, and can be pasted right away, very convenient)

Read it later (pretty cool, for sites I plan to check out, but aren't quite 'bookmark' worthy i guess, lol)

secure login (LOVE this... it's like Opera's want, remembers your username and passwords. Click it, and it logs you in)

Web of trust- pretty good, useful when I'm visiting sites which could have spyware, like sites I visit a lot with por...... i mean, educational documents.

Download Helper is awesome and one of the few reasons I still use FF.

If your talking about IE you do not need to hit control-t, just click the little empty tab to the right of all the others.

Also, for IE users with FF addon envy. Try "IEPro" which adds a lot of the features mentioned in the last few posts in one shot, incluing spell check, DL manager, gestures, ad block etc etc.

no I was refering to firefox 3.0.10 the previews version I was using, I had to use CONTROL-T to open a new tab, but not anymore in v 3.5
and about IT I really don't like to use it anymore, firefox all the way baby :)

3.5 seems a tiny bit faster, still isn't as smooth/fast as Chrome.
