Firefox 3 RC1 Out Now

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the can't-be-worse-than-the-last-beta dept.

Jay writes "Firefox 3 Release Candidate 1 is out now. If yours didn't auto-update, then get it while it's hot! The release came a bit early, with Computer World noting: 'As recently as last Saturday, Mozilla's chief engineer said that although the company had locked down RC1's code, it was planning to publicly launch the build in "late May."'" My copy just downloaded — restarting after I save this story. God I hope it's better than the last beta.

    Netscape 4 never crashed on me. I used Turbolinux, Mandrake, and Red Hat.

    Beta 5 was rock solid for me. Probably an addon thing.

    This is really good news. Will be updating ASAP. Btw, never ever had any stability issues with ff3 on linux, while opera handles flash very crappy these days (and flash v.9.0.124 doesn't work at all in it). IMHO, the only problem of FF3 now is that some extensions are not yet ported (notably, firebug :( ).
