It's nice, except Tab Mix Plus isn't working properly..
Also, the open link in background tab doesn't exist anymore, it is something very useful for me. Any way to revive it?

If your having problems with addons not working this link may help. It provides 2 meathods to force install addons (caution may cause problems)

cheers

I believe my Roboform and TabMixPlus both work fine in 3.5, although I may have special/beta versions of the add-ons.
The roboform file is called "roboform-firefox-3.0-frozen" and is located here.
My TabMixPlus version is a developer's build version 0.3.7.4pre.090107, I think I found it on their forums.

You can use the Developmental Build that does work with FF 3.5 here: http://tmp.garyr.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=9864

Also, I have updated my review of FF in the "Best Free Browser" category.

Thanks, kinda to reply. Also, LinkExtend wasn't working properly either, so I've resorted back to WOT and GooglePreview.

What I'm concerned about is opening links in background tabs, I'm too used to it.

Edit
Nevermind, I just found out another easier way than using the right-click menu.

Here is an interesting comparison between FF 3.5 and Google Chrome:

Go Firefox

Good to hear that FF3.5 is getting faster. But how about this comparison?

Firefox 3.5 benchmarked, not as fast as Chrome

Anupam · 03. Jul 2009, 08:47 AM

This seems to be a more thorough test.

In terms of memory usage, Google Chrome might use more memory because it treats each tab as different process. But, with many add-ons, Firefox might not be close behind

I don't know why speed seems such a big issue when comparing browsers. I really don't care since the differences are too small to make any.

As a web developer, W3C compatibility and rendering is the most important quality of a browser. I also honor continuity in quality. To me Firefox is top in these matters since many years. I see no need for me to wast time on a new browser as long as Firefox keeps up the good work.

However, in that regard I am a little concerned with the new release. I am experiencing more than usual crashes in FF 3.5 during web application tests. I am reporting all these to Mozilla and hope they find the root cause soon.

Is FF 3.5 crashing for any of you as well?

No crashing for me.
