I thought I was running RC2, but in the 'About Mozilla Firefox' window, it doesn't say anything about being a release candidate.

Does it say that for anyone else? It makes it appear as if it is the final version.

Also, does anybody get a bug where it appears that the program is not running in the Windows 7 taskbar (i.e. no border around it?). It only happens sometimes and not consistently. The border will appear again shortly afterwards or if I go to the application using Flip or Flip3D.

I don't know about you but on my computer the RC2 behaves a bit odd. When I browse through my favorites that are on the favorites bar, firefox becomes slow and stops responding for a second or two.. With RC1 I didn't have that issue

Does anyone know if the final release will support Acid 3 test? I mean is not a big deal but Safari and Opera so far are the one with this advantage.

In what way is passing the ACID test important?

In real life the ACID test doesn't mean anything. Most websites don't follow the standards anyway...

Beats IE8 :p

The most important things holding back Acid3 were fixed (fundamental layout issues, text and font handling, etc.). All that's left is a parser issue (getting fixed) SMIL (half-way fixed already) and SVG fonts (getting fixed)

Yes, IE8 being an epic failure in many regards, as usual :laugh:

Yet in their newest marketing propaganda, MS actually claims it has standards compliance :rofl:

Standards compliance looks like this :cool:

Firefox is getting close though.

I don't get that issue.

I actually had the taskbar issue with the older beta versions. However, something that happened with Windows Media Player, a few moments ago, makes me think it could be the fact I am using a Windows 7 RC build that I didn't clean install ;)

Of course not, it's a release candidate, they don't go back and large new features between the RC stage and actually releasing.

You were probably running RC1. I am running rc2 and get no such update.

I was running RC1 but the about screen makes no mention about it being RC2. Not sure whether it did for RC1, and just because it doesnt appear as an update for everyone doesn't mean it's not the final. I've had the same thing with official updates I know have been released.

Will this be the version where we get multiple processes? I LOVE to drag tabs out and make new windows in chrome (instead of bookmarks on my desktop in FF). If v3.5 gets that FF will be MONEY again for me

That has little to do (if anything) with multiple processes......Opera has had that functionality since before Chrome was even known about and it still runs everything in a single process.

Does anybody have a link for Glasser please? On the official add-ons site, it tells me it's for an earlier version of Firefox and won't let me install any version.

I like Ambroos' All-Glass extension, but I have a nice userstyle on my tab-bar, so I'd like that not to become glassy :)
