Re: Firefox 3.5 released

I warmly recommend upgrading to 3.5 for everyone. It's a lot faster than Firefox 3.0, especially on slower systems and on JavaScript heavy sites. I've been happily using nightly builds for months now and haven't noticed any problems in a long time.

Edit: Check out the cool real-time download statistics page.

Firefox 3.5

I agree with Sami. I have been using Firefox ever since version 1 and this latest release, which has been in beta form for quite a long time, is very fast and very stable.

Re: Tabs

Hi Paul,
It could be that the tabs addon that you are using is not compatible at present, if that's the case it should soon be updated. I have some addons that won't currently run on 3.5 :-)

MR Tech Toolkit

Besides the description you can also use Mr Tech to make add-ons that don't work in new FF updates compatible and fully working. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/421

3.5 addons

sometimes, you have an addon with version 1.11.01 which is not compatible with FF 3.5
But if you visit the author's site, you'll see that addon version 1.20.00 is compatible.
You'll have to remove the old version and install the new.

I've done that; for example, Chris Pederick's Web developer Addon 1.16 is for FF 3.1 and below
Web developer 1.17 is for 3.5 and above.

Tab Mix Plus

The TMP site always has the most recent releases. Usually some time before the FF add-on site does.

I can't live without Tab Mix Plus.

3.5

i'm probably going to wait a while before updating my firefox 3.0
a lot of my favorite addons aren't compatible yet (most notably tab mix plus).
