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.

    • Quantum Error Correction Validated in Nature: Microsoft and Quantinuum Log 800-Fold Improvement Two years after the original press-release announcement, independently peer-reviewed results published in Nature on June 10, 2026, have confirmed that Microsoft and Quantinuum achieved an 800-fold reduction in quantum error rates on real trapped-ion hardware — the largest gap between physical and logical error rates ever independently validated.    What Quantum Error Correction Actually Does — and Why Breaking Even Is Hard https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318329/20260613/quantum-error-correction-validated-nature-microsoft-quantinuum-log-800-fold-improvement.htm   Quantum Computing Wiring Bottleneck Cracked by HKU Silicon Carbide Chip at Qubit Temperature Engineers at the University of Hong Kong have built the first cryogenic control chip that operates at the same temperature as superconducting qubits — 10 millikelvin, or just one-hundredth of a degree above absolute zero — without generating the heat that has forced every competing approach to park its electronics hundreds of meters of cable away. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318325/20260613/quantum-computing-wiring-bottleneck-cracked-hku-silicon-carbide-chip-qubit-temperature.htm  
    • RevPDF 4.5.0 by Razvan Serea RevPDF is a free, fully offline PDF editor for Windows, macOS, and Linux that lets you edit text and images directly inside PDF files — no internet connection, no account, and no cloud uploads required. Unlike bloated alternatives that demand subscriptions and constant connectivity, RevPDF fits in under 60MB on desktop while delivering a complete editing toolkit: annotate, redact, sign, compress, split, merge, convert, and reorganize pages, all processed locally on your device. Smart font matching ensures edited text blends seamlessly with the original, and multi-language support includes RTL scripts such as Arabic and Hebrew. Where most PDF editors force you to choose between features and simplicity, RevPDF manages both. You can build interactive forms from scratch with text fields, checkboxes, and dropdowns, permanently redact sensitive data before sharing, draw freehand on contracts and diagrams, and add custom watermarks — all without a single file leaving your machine. Edit Text and Images Directly Inside PDFs RevPDF supports true inline PDF editing — not just annotation layers on top of a document, but actual modification of existing text and images within the file. A smart font-matching engine identifies the font used in the original document and applies it automatically when you make edits, so changes blend naturally with the surrounding content. You can reposition elements, resize images, and update text across single pages or entire documents. RevPDF 4.5.0 release notes: This is one of the biggest updates to RevPDF yet. A lot of things people have been asking for are finally here. New Features Auto Redaction Permanently redact sensitive text and areas from your PDFs before sharing. Clean, irreversible, and fully offline. Comments, Links & Bookmarks Add comments for review, insert clickable links, and create bookmarks to jump around long documents without scrolling forever. Find & Replace Search across the whole document and replace text in one go. Long overdue. Split Pages Vertically or Horizontally Split any page down the middle, vertically or horizontally. Perfect for scanned books or double-page spreads. New Drawing Tools More tools for freehand drawing and markup, better for annotations, sketches, and detailed notes. Continuous Scrolling in Editor The editor now scrolls continuously through pages instead of jumping between them. Working through long documents is a lot smoother now. PDF Metadata Editor View and edit the metadata stored inside your PDFs, including title, author, subject, and keywords. Better Font Matching Text edits now blend in more naturally by doing a better job of matching the original font. Tabbed PDF Viewer Open multiple PDFs at once in tabs and switch between them without going back to the home screen. Add Links Insert hyperlinks anywhere in your PDF, to external URLs or to other pages within the document. Share & Print Shortcuts Share or print directly from the editing screen, home screen, and viewer. No extra steps. Minor Updates Paste images directly from clipboard into your PDF New image editing tools for more control over images inside documents Bug Fixes Fixed file saving issues on Windows and Linux Everything still works fully offline. No login, no cloud, no account. Your files stay on your device.

    • Interesting. I'm not using a VPN with my phone. I tried though my home internet (Rogers) and my cellular internet (Telus) using their respective DNS servers and both trigger the dialog above.
