testman Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 As has happened many many times, the last RC build is used as the final build. Mozilla don't put "RC" in the build info but all the final RCs have always been the same as the final when the hashes have been compared. This is the final and it's exactly the same as the RC. MD5 - 70C0217F3EB62AE35401FDBC54FCA7B0 SHA1 - 71B46B4744C623D33D63ABDD2073BA7A2FE497D6 Above is for GB version. The final came from the official Mozilla mirror servers (using a proper Mozilla URL - the one on the first page), see here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewism Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 According to the Mozilla's wiki: announce release June 30, 8:15am PDT They will change the homepage in 75 minutes and auto-update in less than an hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
testman Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Oh obviously, they'll announce it later on, but it's already on the servers now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comic Book Guy Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Ps: it's July 1 in a couple hours here :p Be that as it may, they are releasing it in a NA timezone, so they are not going to miss the release. Thanks: Comic Book GuyI'm just going to wait (as I said above) ;) You're welcome, and like you I am going to wait for it to be pushed to the updater before I get it.

Darrian Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 It is not released yet. If you go to the 3.5 folder under releases on the Mozilla ftp site it redirects you to a website that says it's not ready yet. If you actually use a ftp client to browse it, you can download it. It's the RC3 build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buio Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 FTP DL is a RC release... It is an external info page, so it will be changed when release is up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
testman Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 (edited) FTP DL is a RC release... Wrong. As someone's already pointed out, the initial home page points to a URL which hasn't had the page changed yet (which it will once they officially release it). Obviously. It is not released yet. If you go to the 3.5 folder under releases on the Mozilla ftp site it redirects you to a website that says it's not ready yet.If you actually use a ftp client to browse it, you can download it. It's the RC3 build. Yes, cos the RC3 and the final are exactly the same (as it's always been in the past). So it is released, just not announced yet.

DJGM Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 you should not download it until there's an official announcement, the file in the mozilla ftp server could be incomplete or compromised by someone. Wait! No need to worry any more. Filehippo have got the 3.5 download up on their site now. Filehippo is an unofficial 3rd party download site that is neither endorsed or authorised by Mozilla to offer Firefox downloads. Furthermore, any Firefox downloads from sites such as Filehippo do not count towards the official downloads tally. The only places that true Firefox fans should download any versions of the browser, are from official Mozilla websites. As for it not being ready before today, Mozilla have always said . . . "We won't release it until it is ready." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
