Firefox 3.5 beta 4

Post by Belahzur on Sat 13 Jun 2009, 3:33 am

My test of 3.5 beta 4.

What add-ons work?

My current addons that work/are compatible.

Adblock Plus
NoScript
FlashBlock
Malware Search

What's the speed like?

Even faster than 3.1, unbelievably faster! On my system, 3.1 takes maybe a 10th of a second in loading time, 3.5 is even quicker in loading.

Anymore information I should know?

3.5 is alot like 3.1 as of right now, but I expect that will change. Tabbed browsing now comes with a + button much like Internet Explorer does.
Right now, the main difference between the two beta's is loading time.



Any questions?

My short review: I have downloaded, installed and tested it. It's noticeably much faster, it also renders javascript a whole lot faster. I guess I'm sticking to this version instead of 3.0.11

I also did a Acid3 Test and Firefox 3.5 scored an all time high of 93!

Just wondering, what's the difference between the two?
Does it mean that a final version of 3.1 will be released before 3.5?


Also, I find the not overriding the stable version slightly annoying because when I open a URL without Firefox opened, I don't know which one will open.

And, when I open Firefox, it always checks the add-on compatibility. The add-on window is usually opened when I start firefox now.

All the add-ons I use on firefox works in 3.5 already so I don't need to use Nightly Tester Tools to force compatibility.

I'm really looking forward to the final version though

The main difference right now is the speed, 3.1 was planned to be released a while ago, but if you look in the new section for one of Doc post, the release date kept getting pushed further back for more beta testing.

If one of your add-ons doesn't work, turn off compatability checking in about:config.
