has anyone downloaded the latest firefox? Should I do it or is it too new and is it better to wait awhile. I am now running 3.0.12
Discussion is locked
Obviously, it's always your choice where to proceed... But, the 3.5.1 version includes a number of security updates and should be used instead of the previous versions. Just for added fun, there is pending update on 3.5.1 for a newly found vulnerability and it should be released soon.
Hope this helps.

The new firefox has provided me with a new annoyance. maybe its fixable, but here goes. I find no major difference, though as Grif says, security has been improved. The annoyance is that the click of a website link, no longer provides a response as when the "hour glass" response as in it doing something. the new version seems to show no action after clicking though it does go through. I thought it strange, maybe there's a setting to bring it back. So far it has been good.

but then I found that the tab has its own circular indicator, showing the web page is loading.

Mark, in my version of the taskbar, I have a "blinking" action and "loading" then webpage name appears. It still an annoyance, IMHO. -----Willy
It freezes and crashes a LOT!! I'm tempted to uninstall,but I
prefer Firefox to IE so I'm stuck.
It's the most recent updated version of FF 3.0 and was released a few days ago. It might be more stable for you and should be maintained by Mozilla till January 2010. Here's the download location:
