Released just a bit ago.

Mozilla | Firefox web browser & Thunderbird email client (http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/)


Let me know if it is noticeably faster like it claims if you have installed it already. Running in Ubuntu now, so unless it is the bee's knees I won't upgrade right away just to avoid any Linux newb problems.

yeah, it's significantly faster to me at least, I like the drag and drop or tear off permissions

I've been running this pre-release for months now and haven't had any problems. Can't really say if it is faster since I don't remember what it was like previously.

I'd love to try it out, but I always wish I hadn't since I use so many extensions that most likely won't work under it. Better to wait for those to get upgraded.

Much faster. I started using Google Chrome because of the speed (or lack of it) problems I was having with Firefox. But the new version is definitely quick enough to move back.

wtF?

You can move tabs from one firefox window to another.. or "tear" a tab off of your current Firefox window.. drag it down to your taskbar and it will open in a new FF window

Same here... seems to be as fast, if not faster than Chrome.

That actually annoys me to no end. The past few months I constantly am accidently tearing off tabs to create new windows when I don't want to.

i'm sure you can disable it, if not in options in the config file

Possibly. I did look for it but never did find anyway to disable it. So I just lived with it. It did take me about 2 months to figure out that I could reattach the tab back to my previous browser if I did a few steps first at least.

Of course I am not really a huge fan of firefox or all of the bloatware extentions people load into it either. I use it only for noscript and if any other browser took security more seriously, I would think about using them.

I am trying to get it to install the "normal ways" in Ubuntu, but it just keeps installing the last beta version. I am sure there is not much difference, but I don't like having the code name Shiretoko all over everyhting.

Anyone having an issue when you close Firefox and then open it back up, all your cookies are gone? I have to type my username and password to get into my normal sites?

For some reason, when I upgraded to 3.5 it sent my favorites into the Wayback Machine. Kind of a bummer as I had a few links that I didn't visit frequently but wanted to have there when I needed them.

Not sure it's specific to 3.5 since it happened to me with the previous version, something about your cookies being corrupted.

Thank you! I'll try those suggestions.. funny, I just closed out and then came back and they are staying for now. I'll try rebooting my pc to see if that's when they erase.
