Firefox 3.5 out now

http://www.getfirefox.com Main benefit to most people: Much faster (allegedly). Other goodness: HTML 5 support, improvements to tabs, Awesomebar, security and session restore, and private browsing.

Installed it on Leopard. The toolbar icons are smaller and the address bar seems longer now. Only one crash so far! :pac: Does feel faster at rendering.

I find firefox a bit crap in that it needs to load 30Mb into memory before it even launches and then grows in memory usage quite drastically after launching. Hopefully they have sorted the memory usage out in 3.5 - will give it a go.
