Firefox 3.5 gets third release candidate

Final countdown?

Customer Success Testimonial: Recovery is Everything

Mozilla Corporation spun out a third release candidate for Firefox 3.5 yesterday.

The latest near-ready version of the open source browser contains minor fixes and tweaks to the new features loaded into Firefox 3.5.

The latest RC build is available for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux in over 70 different languages, said Mozilla.

On Monday the organisation spun out the second release candidate of Firefox 3.5, and yesterday’s arrival of a third RC suggests Mozilla is now very close to a complete version of the browser.

Indeed, the outfit is keen to stick to its deadline of releasing the oft-delayed browser before the end of this month.

Features loaded in the new browser include better tools for controlling private data, Private Browsing mode, better stability with Mozilla’s JavaScript engine, TraceMonkey, and the ability to provide "Location Aware Browsing" using web standards for geolocation. ®

A few issues...

Fix the fucking URL bar that has a penchant to hang (brand new installation on a brand new XP install) the entire browser. Fix the god-awful close time so that I don't have to wait thirty seconds to re-open the browser if I realize I need something else ("firefox is all ready running!").

In fact, how about you people just update Firefox 2 with all of the new security fixes and html/code updates. The user interface was PERFECT until you fucktards ruined it.

Also, what is it with you Opera people? You're like the idiots who show up to a Windows vs Mac vs Linux debate and scream about BeOS. NO ONE CARES.
