What's the harm in trying it for a quick test?

3.0.10 still uses way too much RAM. I hope they can address that...

[Malevolence 6]

Will download an actual version only.

Oh, they did. FF3.5 is now on RC2.

Still not a full version yet. I won't switch right away because I have a snootload of addons.

True. I only use Adblock Plus so I dabble with 3.5 from time to time. On a good amount of sites, the speed increase is very obvious.

What's New in Firefox 3.5

 

[Luk3us 63]

I see firefox stole some ideas from Chrome. I don't care if Chrome stole them from some ****ty browser like Opera by the way though.

[Sonic 296]

I'm impressed with Firefox 3.5, its very speedy. Best browser by far.

[TheBlackOut 7]

Sites that have tuned up their javascript you can really notice a difference on

Garg. Some of my add-ons are not compatible.

[Luk3us 63]

^^ Grr indeed, almost half my stuff doesn't work! Pah.

Give them sometime, they will be updated.

 

All mine work, but then again I don't have that many. Don't really see a need for any others.

So Iv'e tried FireFox 3.5 for over a week now. Yes it is fast, but it drives me crazy that none of my plugins and addons are working.

 

So I switched to Google Chrome wich is faster than the light it seems. They must have some kind of superscript. Annoys me that themes are so hard to find and apply though.

[TheBlackOut 7]

Chrome will become more open later on, or so says Google.

[Mighty BOB! 5]

Yeah it'll be interesting to see what plugins the community makes for Chrome.

 

At this point after a bit of digging, I only have 2 add-ons that are not compatible, although I've disabled one since it needed an update anyways and was impacting my browsing, and the other has a beta build that semi-works, but those don't get automatic updates. Well I hope updates come soon but I can wait. I waited like 3 or 6 months when 3.0 came out before upgrading.

[Sonic 296]

Firefox 3.5.1 just came through on the auto=updater.

 

Firefox 3.5.1 fixes the following issues:

• Several security issues.
• Several stability issues.
• An issue that was making Firefox take a long time to load on some Windows systems.

So after making the jump, I have noticed a very slight, and I say very, slight increase in speed on some pages. I've just about got all my add ons too, plus some new ones.

[Malevolence 6]

Thanks for the update, updating now.
