RSSVersion 3.0.6 of Firefox goes live, formal release is pending
By Scott M. Fulton, III | Published February 3, 2009, 12:58 PM
This morning, our Fileforum editor dutifully noticed that the Mozilla organization has placed the final candidate for the sixth update build to Firefox 3.0 on its FTP servers. As is Mozilla's procedure, this happens prior to the official "release" of the build to general users; and indeed, according to the development team's checklist, contributors are just now being notified of the availability of this build for final testing. Users of earlier editions are not yet seeing notices that the new edition is available, and exactly what issues have been addressed have not yet been listed.
Not sure why so many clones use Mozilla products, with all it unnecessary and very confusing optional add-ons. So many variations of Firefox, under different names.
But none of them (from my intense searching & test-runs) can open nor save MHT file formats. I prefer OPERA, on both my mobiles, netbooks, notebooks & desktops.
Mozilla & Linux are the "Windows 2" stage of software maturity.

I have 5 of them. Not confused at all.
Perhaps it's just you?

|Firefox 3.0.5 just notified me of the available update. That was a pleasant surprise.

|I have this build and it works fine. I see no real immediate importance to it all.

|Scott,
I hope you don't mind terribly if I take this news with a rather large grain of salt. ;)

|Neat, but... when are we going to see 3.1 already!? That's the one I'm waiting for.

|Not that soon. It hasn't made it to the next beta release yet (but is quite usable) and then, there will be release candidates behind that before the final appears. June seems likely.

|I guess I'll have to wait. I want my TraceMonkey!
