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.

    Still it only scored a 71 safari scored 74. I don't see what it couldn't score 100% on the test. Closed Source Browsers such as IE, Safari and even Opera I would expect not to reach 100% because they need to make a browser that satisifys demmand but for these open source products I would expect them to try for full computability at least for bragging rights.

    If you're going to be *that* type of Christian I can't see that you'd be popular anywhere outside certain Churches. This kind of statement always seems to me to be an active attempt to be offended.

    Well, Opera have no idea who's pushing ads through their extra 'spyware window' either.

    Really, why use a browser that pushes ads at you. Isn't there enough online?
