Firefox 3.6 has now gone final -  Find the new version HERE

[Steve]

Installed  seems to be ok on the Mac

[Rik]

Updating. Thanks, Alan. 

[Rik]

Is it my imagine, or is the dictionary now producing a bolder, wavier, red line under misspelt words?

[Steve]

I wouldn't know

[Rik]

 

I'm convinced, even if it still can't check grammar.

[Rik]

I've spotted another change, when you open a new tab from an existing one, it places the new tab next to the existing tab, regardless of whether another tab is already open, ie 1-2-3 has become 1-3-2. Logical really.

I have gone back to 3.5.7

When I select a bookmark a blank page opens, when I click the bookmark again the page opens normally in the empty tab.

No doubt one of my Addons is causing the problem

[Gary]

All working OK here, and yes the red line is bolder I think Rik,  Seems ok so far on my Mac, no issues with blank bookmarks but I don't use that many add ons.

I should've seen that coming - downloaded a full 3.5.7 install yesterday whilst rebuilding my old gaming PC to be my new workstation. Always ensures instant obsolescence.

[Gary]

is it stable

Seems fine, not that much hay though, or horses 

[Gary]

Using quite a bit less ram on my Mac as well so far, time will tell

I am not going to bother, as apparently once again my Norton Toolbar will not work with it, so I am not going down that route again until the problem is fixed.

Only difference here is my favourite skin doesn't work.

Plugins tend to come in pretty fast - I've been using the RC for several weeks and reached the point where I forgot I was using a beta version.

Grab it - dump Norton

Steve

[Gary]

Its definitely faster, and now they will add new features instead of just security fixes, first is the one to isolate bad boy plugins, yes Adobe!

[Sebby]

Updated, all working fine.

Any reasons I should go back to using FF on a Mac as opposed to  Safari?

Any reasons I should go back to using FF on a Mac as opposed to  Safari?

You don't need an input manager to hack safari to stop ads,  Its faster than 3.5 but Safari is faster, I just think FF has a better system of good add ons, 3.6 also will be adding new features in updates rather than incremental security patches alone, have a play, for me Safari does not work with my bank which is a pain, and I have just become accustomed to its interface, Safari does some odd stuff when you try to use the dreaded green button when a web page does not fit as well, but if you are happy with Safari then not really tbh. 

[Steve]

I ended when using FF with a multitude of add-ons, many I never used,some I would think have negative impact on performance.At least Safari has little or no frills to attach.

[Rik]

But frills suit you so much, Steve.

I think Safari is great, but there are a couple of things that it can't do but Firefox can. These are: start searching when typing (can be added to Safari with Glims) and Ctrl+S to submit a form.
