Updated to Firefox 3.5 from 3.0. Feel it just a bit faster, however now I have a BIG issue with the session saving, as mentioned, it doesn’t work! I tried it on Windows XP and Windows Vista, same issue. I’ll try the possible fix and report even though it seems like solving that will mean less privacy (not good).

Running Firefox 3.5 Linux version here. Did not really notice speed improvement as it was already acceptably fast enough for me in 3.0.11 version.

No update for me. Must have had 3.5 since last week when it updated itself. Have found only one problem for me and that is “slow or no scrolling while there are animated images on the page”. Have reported the bug and got a reply that they will look in to it. The Tab/Page recovery has not been an issue for me on my Mac G4 10.5.7. Matter of fact, I’d rather that it not do it. I’ll find the setting, fingers crossed, to turn it off.

Otherwise, like it a lot. And glad to see Add-On developers updating quickly.

Thank you all.

All you had to do was this morning, go to their FTP site and download it. It always shows up there about 3/4 of a day early, before they update their website.

Anyone else noticing issues with Slacker Radio being played thru Firefox 3.5? Songs don’t advance properly to the next track sometimes.

@Josh: Gmail and Gcal work fine for me with 3.5. What issues are you having?

Got it for my work PC. It’s nice although there are two toolbars that I don’t use but can not remove. Waste of a little screen space.

Just updated, I agree, the new Video Embed tag is really neat.

Google has dropped the ball… No google gears support when the final version is released!? Not a good way to encourage people to get rid of their email/calendar applications . Seriously, I was just getting comfortable with using the web interfaces of gmail and gcal exclusively. This better be fixed before I go up to the cottage next.

The embed video play is a nice feature.

Love the Firefox… I wish they’d do more on the mobile front! Mozilla needs to get that mobile version out already!

“UPDATE: Just a word of warning — we’re getting reports from several Mac users that 3.5 has issues with restoring sessions/tabs after exiting and reopening the browser. By issues, we mean it doesn’t work. Windows users are seemingly not affected.”

In the voice of Nelson from the Simpsons: “hah-hah!” J/k!

Been using it for about 10 minutes. From FF 3.0.11: wow… Just, wow.

Not too much different, looks just like regular FireFox. So far so good. Again with an average of 9 tabs open at once all the time – we’ll see.

Then of course there is youtube, netflix, etc… I’ll see later if it makes a noticeable difference.

If you’re running FF 3.0 wait a bit, or try the auto update. That’s how I got it.

It’s true, it does. Let’s see if it keeps its snappiness when it’s left running for a few hours.
