Firefox 3.5 Released

Firefox 3.5 was released this morning and is available for download. I've been running it for a few hours and it does seem noticeably faster han 3.0.11.

Just remember to check if your add-on are compatible.

I have 2 that supposedly aren't, so I'll be waiting a bit longer.

Good point shadowpr, I just noticed that the AVG 8.5 Firefox Add-On is not compatible but I'm sure AVG will update that pretty quickly.

Logmein is a notable on my incompatible list. Guess I'm waiting too...

AVG shows ok for me too.

Logmein and Stealther 1.0.6 are my "not workings"

All-In-One Mouse Gestures is not compatible. Won't be updating until it is as I can't live without my mouse gestures. What's a back button?

The things that no longer work for me are the three themes I alternated. The Glowy Blue, Wine, and Green themes I enjoyed but none are compatible. I'm sure things will change and I'll find something similar to use.

I'll probably wait a few weeks before upgrading for all the plugins I use to catch up.

A major downside of a heavily based plugin environment...

The one windows box I ran into this is running vista; the winxp boxes all seem OK.

Been running it for almost a week now. The biggest difference is how much faster it is now.
I also like the open new tab button (like IE has)
My personal opinion is now Firefox 3.5 is the best browser out there.

I have noticed that many web based server type applications are starting to use firefox more and more. (open source rules)
