It is the same as RC2.

Bwahahaha...I guess nothing was wrong with RC2

Certainly looks that way. Just checked the MD5's for the RC2 and final installers and they are the same.

They could have saved people time and just said..."By the way download the RC2 of 3.6 for the final version..."

Seems to be exactly the same! It should be time for a complete overall but it seems to be the same as previous versions. The only difference I can see is it opens tabs quicker but renders the page the same..

Same old as far as I'm concerned and shall be uninstalled aptly.

It was meant to only be a minor improvement over 3.5

Expect a much bigger change in 3.7 (not the GUI) and an overhaul in 4

I thought big change might have happened some time ago, like a complete rework but they are clinging on to this for dear life for some reason.

I believe they save their "big re-works" for the version numbers like 3.0 and 4.0

Some of the new things are disabled by default if some weren't aware.

about:config -

browser.allTabs.previews (default is False) set to True for tab switcher button at the top right.

browser.ctrlTab.previews (default is False) set to True. Ctrl+Tab

browser.taskbar.previews.enable (default is False) set to True for taskbar previews.

html5.enable (default is False) set to true for html5 web standards support.

Thanks for that Aaron

Thought I would mention that browser.taskbar.previews.enable when using strata40 is borked...it go out of array with it

Rather than add features to Firefox only in once- or twice-a-year upgrades, Mozilla will quietly insert some functionality via its regular security updates, which appear every four to six weeks, said Mike Beltzner, director of Firefox.
That means Firefox 3.7, which was slated for a second quarter release, has been dropped from the development schedule, said Beltzner.....

Maybe it's better that way. Or maybe not?

No problem here.

They are all the Jan. 15 3.6 RC2 Build 1. I've been using it since then. Everything works for me. Maybe they have to coordinate all the pizza and beer deliveries. Announcing it's the same old code would be a buzz kill.

Whoa...that is a big announcement...I can't believe they dropped 3.7 (if this is true)

This came out the first of the week... 3.7 is dead....
