Firefox 3.5 released today - Page 4

Thats quite a heartening news to hear, if its true. Faster startup, memory optimization would definitely make Firefox the best. I am not too sure about each tab as different process though. Chrome does that, and because of that uses more memory... coz each process takes an amount of memory, and it all sums up big.

I don't use the history option. Maybe I will try out the first one. If someone tries it out, let us know.

Tried both and they did make startup a bit faster (on my relatively newer machine, Firefox wasn't that slow at all, even with my 27 extensions and custom theme), but really made a difference in CPU resource usage when starting FF.
Thanks for the tip.

version 3.5.2 was just released. I received my update via automatic updates. So far no problems with WOT, Noscript, adblock plus, betterprivacy, and keyscrambler

You beat me to it

. I saw it on download sites, and some blogs yesterday, but was waiting for the download to be there on Mozilla site.

Anyways, I read on a blog, the update required Windows to reboot

. It didn't happen with me, so I pity the blogger

.

I was also expecting that this release will check for third party add-ons, and plugins to see if they are outdated, as mentioned on some blogs. But, I don't think Mozilla has incorporated the feature in this release. If someone does notice that Firefox is checking for the third party add-ons like Adobe Flash Player, please do tell here.

Is it true that if you click "upgrade" from the GUI you get directed to the Opera download page?
