My suspicious mind suggests that Firefox 3 was going head-to-head in the final release schedule with Opera 9.50, as both browsers have been in perpetual development since forever, but guess what! Opera 9.50 has been released at long last, so pull yer fingers out guys!!

I just hope that final release is happening in the near future as FF2 is now almost completely useless for me because of constant crashes on random web sites.

I also sencierly hope all the common plugins, FireBug, Better Gmail and similar will be available as common plugins soon after release day.

What I’ve seen so far on beta releases is a huge improvement in terms of speed, memory management and rendering.

Please don’t make us use IE7 again …. :)

My favorite bug 383369 appears to be alive and well on FF3b5. Other than that I find FF3b5 absolutely awesome. Am using it daily on OSX Tiger with no issues other than not being able to use the sort bookmark capability (the sort although working in the Library window doesn’t “stick”) which is not an issue for me.

This is a crucial time in the life of Firefox. When Firefox came out, IE had no tabs and ran every malware it could find. With IE7, for many users IE is a passable alternative with tabs, and more focus on security than it used to have. Firefox now has a reputation as a memory hog. Firefox 3 must address this.

Nowadays more pages use Flash - and the sad truth is these pages often work better in IE. One of the most popular sites, Youtube, for many Firefox users plays without sound! Reliable support for Flash in Firefox is essential for its success. Mozilla should have regular meetings with the programmers at Adobe and beat some sense into them. Either that, or give money to the Gnash project. Without plugins, Firefox usually runs like a dream. But for users who depend on Flash, IE looks better all the time.

Take your time, get it right. Because if Firefox 3 is not excellent and much better with memory and plugins than Firefox 2, Firefox market share will start going back down.

ScottishDan, I honestly don’t think at the moment the developers could give a date if they even wanted too. It looks more and more likely we’re going to get a beta5 to add that final piece of polish (e.g some feedback all Vista icons as there’s no full implementation yet) and lots of other outstanding polish bugs.

QA looks like it’s going to go at least 2 weeks since code freeze (started on the 26th).

I don’t know we’ll get a serious estimate of launch till we get to at least preRC1 or RC1.
