Firefox 3.5 is out now. Mozilla says the newest version of their browser will be more than twice as fast and more useful.

There is a lot of stuff that sounds great.

I'm gonna update it tomorrow on my computer. Thanks for the info Caesar!


What To Look For In Firefox 3.5 - PC World

Crap, 3.5 totally messes up the design of the StreetHop.com main page. DONT UPGRADE! I repeat, FOR THE LOVE OF STREETHOP.COM DO NOT UPGRADE TO FIREFOX 3.5!

I think its just Beta though, otherwise Firefox will update on its own.

 

[Caesar]

No, final version came out today.

then it would have updated itself. and it didn't.

edit: if you check for updates in help it does update itself.

edit2: SH's design is fine with me even with 3.5

Streethop homepage has been kinda acting funny lately after the layout change ...

The reason Firefox doesn't upgrade itself is this is not a new build of the previous version with enhancements, it's a completely new version of the browser.

The "updates" Firefox normally download include things like bug fixes and security updates, not new functionality. They've always saved that for new versions.

I don't understand this front page business. I've browsed it with the most recent IE, FF3 and FF3.5 and all times it looked perfectly fine.

Lol just installed it on the laptop and noticed something: while the progress bar in the installation progresses (which takes like a second) it skips through various description texts of what the installation is doing (ie. "Checking directories..." "Copying files.."). At the end it said "Doing a bit of housekeeping..." ie cleaning up the installation files from the temp folder.

Funnies!

I fixed it, just some CSS fixes.

Id noticed the problem previously with Safari, and now Firefox 3.5 did the same thing, but Ive fixed it for the most part.

Here is a screenshot of the Safari problems, and FF 3.5 was the same, I just didnt feel like making a new image.

I find it awkward that browsers "interpret" code in different ways.

I remember in my days of coding html, I would often run into similar problems where using several tables and borders and css to position things made it look weird in certain browsers. My mistake was just bad coding though
