Anyways, Firefox 3.5 has finally been released and is available for update for anyone using Firefox 3.0.11 or Firefox 3.5 (beta - RC2) via 'Check for updates'.

On a personal note: This came out while I was sleeping thus the late post.

And just wanted to add, if you had 3.5 RC3, you don't need to reinstall, since it's the same build.

It would explain why it wouldn't let me upgrade from RC3 to Final via 'Check for updates'

I personally think that this new firefox is alot faster.. its quick to load up also on a core duo processor which the others took like 3 secs to load this one is boom boom there lol

Yeah you are missing the: (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)

What you can do though is remove your current Firefox (don't remove extensions/personal settings) and just use my link in the first post. =P

They are not MS. A release candidate means exactly that. MS RC = beta.

Release Candidate of a product means FEATURE COMPLETE,not bugs-free as you would expect from a final release :sarc: otherwise everyone should skip Release Candidate and call it "FINAL" lol

Exactly, most people today think RC = Bug free for some reason, RC is the final phase in which they use people (like us) to help find show-stopper bugs and other minor issues.

What better way to test for bugs then let normal users use a RC client and listen to them moan about the bug? =P

Can anybody else with ff 3.5 see if this happens. I 'm running 7264 x64.



I have IE open with three tabs and minimized to the taskbar. I have FF opened with two tabs. When I minimize FF at the top right, it throws up (maximizes) IE as soon as I click on the minimize button in FF.

Your logic is flawed. That's not the route it takes. Why would they call it final at the beginning if its a release CANDIDATE?

Let me spell it out for you...

What do the words mean - Release Candidate?
Exactly what it means. This is a candidate for release.

Normal RC route:

RC1 > Everything OK? > Yes > Release To Manufacturing (RTM = GOLD - same thing u get in store)
RC1 > Everything OK? > No > Fix and release RC2
etc

From Wikipedia...

Release candidate

The term release candidate (RC) refers to a version with potential to be a final product, ready to release unless fatal bugs emerge.

MS does not play along. They make up their own definition and I call it beta as most other software makers would call it if they were doing the same.

I'm using 3.6(Minefield) x64-bit, it's great too, I've found no issues....

I use Maxthon as a rule but ive downloaded FF and will give it a go
