The release candidates all worked fine for me so it's not much of a surprise that the final version is working well too. Much faster than Firefox 3.

Thanks profman for the update.

Was that just me, or Mozilla's Firefox team consider that Apple Safari is a threat?

But not Internet Explorer.

Antony, I could not find a page which you showed, but I found one which compares with IE
There is an interesting link at ZDNet Australia, but nothing as you showed. Could you provide a link?
Regardless, it is nothing but meaningless advertising.

Sorry, forgot to include the link.

It was http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/up ... ature-vsie

They must have browser detection (or OS detection), and shows up Safari for Mac users.

Here's the screenshot when I visit it:

It makes sense. In a separate post, I will give my impression of 3.5.

Here it is on Windows:

Strangely they also use the "Firefox vs. IE" comparison on Linux too, probably because Firefox is already the default on so many distros.

Thanks Don.

How do you know the comparison on Linux platform?

I checked it on my box running Debian and still got the "Firefox vs. IE" comparison. I haven't tried on any other distros but I assume the more popular ones like Fedora, Mandriva, and Ubuntu all do likewise.

I believe he is saying that his user agent string did not in fact match what he was formerly using but now on this post it appears to be correct (since his user string shows he is using version 3.5). In other words, he posted what he thought to be a problem prematurely only to discover that it resolved itself. Now how that came about it beyond me.

One irritant in FF3.5 is its regression back to handling tab closing like IE. If I have only one tab open, I apparently must open a new tab before I can close the one I was using. I tried to install tabx, but it is not useable (yet) in FF3.5.

Here goes another non-issue, for me. I, just, came from another newsgroup, and I saw a raging discussion (anything over ten replies, is "raging") about some tab issue which was incomprehensible, to me.
Richard, as far as you are concerned, you must have some settings different from mine.
What are your Tab settings? Are you saving Tabs, or open with no tabs?
My 3.5 has a two tab Home group, and a tab setting is to "always show the tab bar".

Fulvio-

I always open to an empty page, one tab, with the tab visible. No issue here. What I am complaining about is no "X" in the tab, as we had before, and the inability to just X out the current page and get an empty page. I am forced to open a new blank page on its own tab before I can close the current tab.

I got tabx.xpi for SeaMonkey, when it lacked an "X" in the tab. I tried to install it in FF3.5, but the message was that it was not available for 3.5.
