Firefox 3.6 has been released.

At the heck I posted in the wrong thread somehow... So I'm guessing everyone here hates opera right?

Well i'm not really sure on the security but links is pretty fast :p hahaha

It's not that we hate it, it's just that we don't really care about it.

I miss pre-aol netscape.  :'(

after few hours i like 3.6
Yes, there is a little RAM use cut - its ok
I didnt noticed the speed up for starting
Still few plugins are not compatible
Persona are great Idea ! like the preview before downloading !

But like xShadow said:
"Nothing like the days of Firefox 0.9, though."

But we need to think about Security thosedays

Security > Performence (but not allways - we dont want to wait 10minuts to ff to start)

Erm... I'm not the one that said that. That was Xiong. >_>

To be honest, I'm not even sure what version I started using firefox at, so I can't really comment.

Pssh. Firefox 3.6 is so 2 months ago. Firefox 3.7 alpha is out now.

Well since I don't really know much about different web browsers I'm not really sure how the security levels differ between browsers..... I'm just gonna assume that as mote people start using firefox there will very likely be more security holes to patch up....kinda like Microsoft.

Right?

Yeah i've been using the new firefox... I don't notice any speedups really....
2.2 ghz single core amd 3500+
512 mB ram
runs fine....on Linux....

The CSS gradient feature is awesome, but it's not really worth making an alt stylesheet just for FF 3.6+ right now.

Yes, and no.  Mozilla is generally pretty decent at patching known vulnerabilities, although iirc they aren't as good as they could be.

Whether or not the codebase itself is more prone to vulns I leave to someone more qualified to discuss.

Just the fact that it's not a vital system process gives Firefox (and any other browser, for that matter) quite a bit of an advantage as far as security goes. Whoever at Microsoft decided that the desktop, file manager, and taskbar should be handled by Explorer should be shot.
