Firefox 3.5 gets a third release candidate
Updated June 26 at 3:45 p.m. PDT: Mozilla stated in an e-mail today that it expects Firefox 3.5 to go public on the morning of Tuesday, June 30, almost missing its self-imposed deadline of "the end of June."
Despite hoping that Firefox 3.5 would receive only one release candidate, Mozilla has now published Firefox 3.5 RC 3 for Windows, Mac, and Linux.
Details on what's changed between RC 2 and RC 3 are light, with Mozilla saying only that the changes are based on user feedback. Given the history of Firefox updates, it's likely that these were stability- and security-based improvements.
Readers can also peruse older CNET Firefox 3.5 coverage, or check out the official Firefox 3.5 RC 3 release notes.
Seth peers into the deep, dark corners of software so that you don't have to. He has yet to suffer a single nightmare about OS/2. You can follow him on Twitter. 
And guess who wrote Safari? A-P-P-L-E. I guess that means IE must be the best browser, because it's included with Windows, and everyone knows that Windows is better than OSX.
Admit it. "Better articles" means only those that promote Apple. You're just rabidly pro-Apple, and anything else is bad. Most things that "everyone knows" aren't automatically right.
First, this article in no way makes claim that FireFox is superior to anything, nor does it have anything to do with Apple.
Second, nobody ever expects Apple to install anything other than Safari as a preload into OSX....um when you're competing for market share you don't include the competition. Apple however at least made Safari possible to remove if someone wants something else.
web-browser doesn't have to be preloaded to be called the good. If I went that way I would be using IE not FF.
I think you did not understand the article.

Fx is a very serious competitor in the browser field and abolishing IE's dominance will benefit us all. Through IE, Microsft has shown they have no intention of properly implementing standards and this is something that is holding back the web right now. Many web pages use extra code to display properly in IE. No other browser needs that code.
I hae installed Firefox and Chrome and only drop back to IE6 when a corporate apps forces me to.
Other then that I live in Forefox with Chrome for lunch time surfing. Keeps the history in a different place.
