Grown tired of your current browser? You may want to consider giving Firefox 3.6 a try now that the open-source browser has been made available in Release Candidate form. And if you're worried about being left behind with an unfinished product, don't be.
"[Firefox 3.6 RC1] may update itself periodically and will eventually be identical to the final release," Mozilla stated in the RC's release notes.
The latest release is built on Mozilla's Gecko 1.9.2 engine, which the company says has been under development for several months and includes a bunch of improvements, primarily for Web developers. It includes over 70 fixes from the last beta to improve performance, stability, and security features, and has the ability to run scripts asynchronously to speed up page load times.
For more info, see the release notes and known issues.

According to the browser maker, no need for a second Release Candidate of Firefox 4.0 has been identified at this point in time. www.artistspringboard.com

The other day I had a problem with Explorer when I had FF 3.5.7 running.
I was unable to "drag & drop" from the main window to the tree. I could still "cut & paste" though.

I downloaded the RC1 release the day it was posted onto the ftp server, and I will say that I like it, though it doesn't seem much different than 3.5.7, it does seem to be stable, no addon incompatibilities, the only thing I've noticed is sometimes personas randomly vanishes, and I have to go back to my recently used to turn it back on. I'm going to have to try all glass for firefox on this build and see if it works better than it does on 3.5.7.
