[FireFox] Firefox 3.5 - Final

So I loaded Firefox 3.5rc2 and did an update, which found one. Update said there was a more stable version & complete final version.

Not final; still rc2. Final will have a later build date--once it arrives.

The about screen looked like that for 3.5 RC1 as well... what does the title bar say?

Odd. I already had RC2 ... So what they updated to RC2b or something? Title bar only read, Mozilla Firefox

Oh well. Sorry for the false alarm I guess.

this might be a staggered update, starting with existing beta users first. so install beta then update

They uploaded a RC3 in their releases directory. If there are no problems they will just rename the setup file and release it as final.

Grail Knight - Perhaps I missed it in another thread but will your 3.x speed tweaks stickied up top this forum work well with the 3.5 final?

I have been running your tweaks since you first released them and have become a fan. No FF install happens without them.

The speed tweaks are unchanged for v3.5+ or the official once available.

So I loaded Firefox 3.5rc2 and
I see you have the .Net install that adds itself without permission to your Firefox install.

Yes.
I noticed I have had memory usage as high as 144,000 and as low as 55,000.

Right now it is at 70,000.

I have 1 extension and about 25 plug ins such as Adobe, Realplayer, Flash, Shockwave, etc.
They each have multiple plug in entries.

Re: [FireFox] Firefox 3.5 - Final

Why can't they get this fixed? I have no issues with this right now, but I know people do. I see no point in upgrading when this issue is still not fixed, and may even be worse. I hope they take the time to address it rather than rush out the final.

Memory Leak wise, I notice I am stable between 90-115k of memory, which is the lowest I have had since Firefox 2.x

Performance is MUCH better than what it was with previous versions, and my memory is very stable after running it for the last 3 hours with no issues or slowdowns at all.

Time will tell I guess over the next few days and when the final is released.

So far, so very good.

It has now been released as a final. The digital signature has the same time stamp as RC3.

Seems like a nice improvement.

I had to go to the developer's sites to get compatible versions for two of my extensions, but both work just fine.

1 key addon not working yet - Google Gears. This addon supports Offline mode for both Gmail & Google Reader where the emails and stories can be backed up locally on your PC.




All the rest of my addons work. Google developer says they are working on it, but waited until Mozilla actually delivered the full release of 3.5.

In about:config reset that string to default and restart Firefox.

P.S.>> Isn't there a useragent addon? Maybe you should disable it if you are using that addon. »https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/59

Hi Liam; I'm not using any User agent addon.

Thanks for help JMorlan, also.

Reset it to Default and it now says 3.5..

Tested 3.5 on 2 Vista systems and on Win7 RC and other than 1 addon not working yet, everything working fine. Speed is improved over 3.0.11 and pages snap to the screen almost instantly - even my MyYahoo page which is loaded with tons of customized options.

P.S.>> the new feature that saves text typed in to a form in the browser if you terminate the browser by mistake works as claimed. I tested a post in dev/null forum; terminated the browser; restarted it and all the text typed in to the forum post was still there when the browser was restarted.

a Quite happy with Version 3.5 with the exception of couple of minor complaints.

1. My TabMixPlus appears to react negatively with my Tabs. Close Tab button disappears and so does Open a New Tab button. I've disabled it and can live with it.

2. Under load it takes, what seems like an eternity to load, but so did every other version of FF, at least for me. So I am used to it.
