Firefox 3.6 release candidate one available

Firefox, as you'll know, is one of the world's most popular browsers. Developed by Mozilla, it does very well for a browser that has to compete against those from massive corporations, such as Apple, Microsoft and Google. Now, a release candidate for version 3.6 has become available.
