    I’ve been using Firefox from version 1.5, and the day firefox 3.5 hit the servers, i immediately upgraded mine from 3.0.11 to 3.5 on windows but i’m still waiting for it to drop on my Main PC; Ubuntu 9.04 (Ubuntu Dev’s are still testing b4 they roll it out fully)
    I must say 3.5 is way faster than 3.0 and has a lot more features but still has the same look as 3.0
    I recomend every one get Firefox 3.5 even IE 8 users :grin: give it a test drive and you’ll never user another browser

(will not be published)
