well at least they are updating it frequently to fix stuff in the beta nice to see. however i have been burned by their beta's before so i am waiting for 3.6 full lol.

Whats the harm in trying?? Just download the .zip thingy , when it comes , and when u rnt satisfied , then just delete the zip , done! Ur previous version is still alive without any wounds or something :p

The beta hasn't actually been released yet, these are test builds for what could become the beta.

Agree'd. OP needs to do some research and fix the topic title. This is a nightly build, not an official beta 1build 2 beta.

it's in the nightly folder.. not an official beta

But it will become official ,as this is the RC of the final Beta 1 of firefox 3.6 and , in a day another RC cannot come. Therefore , this is the Beta1 of 3.6 :)

Remember firefox 3.5.0 ?? it was nothing but Firefox 3.5 RC3 :) . Its only MS which has RC and Final with differences... Further if u want to investigate more , then compare the build no. of candidates of previous releases (of last build) with the final release. Like of 3.5.3 and candidate 3.5.3...

Just for sake of another proof , wait for tomorrow's release and then compare 20091019 with firefox 3.6 beta 1 FINAL's build number , most probably (95% sure) the no. will be same.

One more thing , if its a nightly build , then it would call it a prebeta , namoroka and wouldnt have that icon :) {See the attached picture)

* revised beta 1 schedule

o October 18th, 11:59pm PDT: Code freeze on mozilla-1.9.2, all P1 blockers landed

o October 19th: Beta 1 builds available

o October 19th-27th: QA testing

o October 28th, 5pm PDT: Beta 1 launched

that pretty much sums it up for you. in other words, wait until next Wednesday October 28 for the actual release of FF 3.6b1.

One word: DELAY! :angry:

Well I was going to not install Beta 1 build 2 and just installed the Beta 1 that was supposed to be released today. I'm using Beta 1 Build 1 now. Wait....

All this is so confusing. :(

Nothing to get upset about. The code they release on 10/28 will almost certainly be IDENTICAL (including SHA1 hash of the setup file) to the code that's found in Build 2. Occasionally they update a language xml file or something like that. In fact, a lot of the time the different builds are identical on the Windows platform. So really you don't have to wait at all.

you shouldn't need to be confused. just install build 2 of FF3.6b1 on top of build 1, overwriting it, and run FF3.6b1 as usual. build 2 has some bug fixes found in build 1. I've just installed Firefox 3.6b1 build 2 over build 1; no harm done. :D

ok fine then, boogerjones. :rolleyes: i guess mozilla isn't ready to release it today. no matter since i've already installed the latest build of Firefox 3.6 beta 1 on my XP machine and runs okay.

lol i'm constantly checking to see if this damn beta is up....... not kool :D :(

you can blame the folks at Mozilla on that. they're attempting to implement "Aero Peek Preview Per Tab" in FF 3.6 beta but with disastrous results, which is why they've postpone public release of FF 3.6b1 several times.

Read the October 28 Firefox Delivery Meeting Notes here and read about those Aero Peek bugs:

https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox/DeliveryMeetings/2009-10-28

sorry, public release of FF3.6b1 is NOT going to happen on the evening of October 28.

i'll just have to wait until Halloween then, maybe FF3.6b1 will publicly be available by that time.

    • Citizen Sleeper and Robobeat are free to claim on the Epic Games Store by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe PC gamers have two more games they can add to their library without needing to open their wallets, as the Epic Games Store's freebie offer has just refreshed. That means last week's Warhammer 40K Speed Freeks and The Ouroboros King offer has been replaced by two new games, which happen to be Robobeat and Citizen Sleeper copies. From the duo, Robobeat lands from developer Simon Fredholm, offering a rhythm-based action game. Released only last year, the title puts you into the shoes of Ace, a bounty hunter that's targeting the robot showman Frazzer. The fast-paced title offers movement techniques like wall-running, sliding, and bunny hopping to zoom around while shooting enemies, but the requirement is doing everything to the beat. Outside of built-in tracks, the title also lets players upload their own music to populate its levels too. Next, Citizen Sleeper lands from Jump Over The Age, a sci-fi RPG adventure taking place in a ruined space station where thousands of people are trying to survive. The tabletop RPG-inspired title uses things like dice and clocks to change how the player approaches situations and survives their day-to-day lives. There is a large range of characters to meet with in the station, each with their own storylines and alliances. "You are a sleeper, a digitised human consciousness in an artificial body, owned by a corporation that wants you back," says the developer about the setting. "Thrust amongst the unfamiliar and colourful inhabitants of the Eye, you need to build friendships, earn your keep, and navigate the factions of this strange metropolis, if you hope to survive to see the next cycle." The Citizen Sleeper and Robobeat giveaways are set to run until June 25 on the Epic Games Store, giving PC gamers seven days to claim the latest offer. Once this closes out, new freebies will take its place on the same day. They are supposed to be copies of RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 and Voidwrought. Don't forget that mobile gamers can check out the Epic Game Store's weekly giveaways on Android and iOS to grab a freebie there as well.
    • Vivaldi version 8.0.4033.50 released June 17: https://vivaldi.com/blog/desktop/minor-update-eight-8-0/
    • The Online part hasn't even been announced and probably won't be included on day one. This is a massive singleplayer game.
    • While I agree with all that, it just proves there's an a** built for every seat.
