Firefox 3.5 now available

[RJ McKenzieParticipant]

The final version of Firefox 3.5 is now available for download. I’ve been using the betas and they have been real good and reliable.

Thanks for the heads up! I had tried the beta but the final product feels much nicer(faster). I really like that they added a private browsing mode like google chrome has(no history is kept on PC). It can be found under the tools menu.

I would recommend checking out the release notes to see what else is new & make sure none of the knwon issues will cause you any problems.

I should have also said I had one issue after I first upgraded, I went to read a few stories on digg.com, and allot of the comments had some of the text underneath other text.
I assume this was caused by old cache of the page( I was reading the page before the upgrade), When I hard refreshed the page(Ctrl+R) everything displayed correctly, and even seemed to be using a much easier to read font.

Safari also has this private browsing mode as well. I don’t know if IE or Opera have it.

Don’t know about Opera since I haven’t used it in along time, but IE8 does have a private browsing mode. In IE under the tools menu select InPrivate Browsing.

I like using private mode when purchasing things online, that way my Browser doesn’t remember my card number, but I can have my browser set to save all other unimportant info when using it in normal mode.

So far this new version is fantastic…and fast! I do so love the speed at which this runs.
