Firefox 3.5 almost here
Fans of Firefox's beta builds can now download Firefox 3.5 Release Candidate 2 for Windows, Mac, and Linux. The latest build contains bug fixes although, according to Mozilla's Director of Firefox, Mike Beltzner, these were minor stability issues corrected after the release of the first release candidate.
Belzner also addressed some confusion among the 800,000 or so beta users about Firefox's beta-naming conventions. When the beta moves into release candidate mode, he said, it takes on the name of the final version because if no further problems are found the RC build will simply become the public version.
In an interview with CNET earlier this week, Beltzner said that he expects Firefox 3.5 to be released to the public before the end of June. Although that gives Mozilla a week and a half from today, releasing two release candidates in one week could indicate that the final version could come as early as the beginning of next week.

That's where a new tab button is useful.
However I don't see a reason why it wouldn't be optional. If you can't remove it from the options, I'm sure there's an about:config entry that removes it or a stylish script or eight in the near future.
I installed both tonight and have had no problems.
Sad, really sad. Fancy turning Firefox OFF in the first place :-)
The fact that spelled mozilla with a t in front makes me laugh even harder.
hope they corrected it... the old one was so e-z to use.. kept my passwords in properties/description and always keep it in my taskbar to use constantly.. so much easier than IE.. ..been using it like that since Netscape from way back when...
