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)

AH CRUD! :crazy:

Read the following Firefox Delivery Meeting October 21 notes page:

* 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.

    • Bose QuietComfort Ultra Gen 2 headphones are down to lowest price in over a month

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Bose QuietComfort Ultra Gen 2 headphones are down to lowest price in over a month by Taras Buria Bose's second-gen QuietComfort Ultra headphones are premium over-ear headphones with noise cancellation, but right now, you can save 16%, thanks to a discount that brought the headphones to a new lowest price in over a month. While the general look and aesthetics remain unchanged compared to the previous gen, the Gen 2 features redesigned wear-detection sensors, which accurately pause your music the moment you take them off. Additionally, the headphones now support lossless audio via a direct USB-C wired connection, letting you enjoy uncompressed sound when plugged into your laptop or phone. There is also spatial audio support (works wirelessly) for a more immersive audio experience and improved noise cancellation, which makes the QuietComfort Ultra go-to headphones for many users on long flights or other scenarios when they need to isolate themselves from the surrounding noise. The QuietComfort Ultra (Gen 2) also features Bluetooth Multipoint for seamless switching between two devices at once. As for battery life, you get up to 30 hours on a single charge (up to 23 hours when using spatial audio). Besides good audio quality and noise cancellation, the headphones should be comfortable to wear, thanks to the lightweight 250-gram design and soft protein-leather ear pads. The QuietComfort Ultra Gen 2 are available in four colors, and all five are now available at the lowest price: Bose QuietComfort Ultra Bluetooth Headphones (2nd Gen) - $379 | 16% off on Amazon This Amazon deal is US-specific and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • Save 44% on Intuit QuickBooks Desktop Pro Plus 2024 (1 User for 1-Year)

      By fingletmein · Posted

      Keep in mind Intuit has lobbied like crazy to keep taxes complicated so they can continue to sell tax software. They also got caught hiding their legally mandated free version so they could release a second one that pushed countless people into charges they didn't need to pay to file. Intuit leads the charge on inventing problems so they can sell you the solution and disrespecting you in the process.
    • EA Sports UFC 6 review: Brutal, satisfying, and surprisingly accessible to newcomers

      By Figure 8 Dash · Posted

      Oddly, there was a time that UFC games were culturally relevant, largely because of the graphics and gameplay that was different than the norm. But it seems like as the sport grew in popularity, gaming outlets stopped talking about the games.
