Bravo to Mozilla for fixing a security breach so soon after its public identification. Would any other vendor have responded so quickly? I think not.

I don't use it. Has too 'lite' a feel for me.

Hmmm just install this had it seems to be good now ... Firrfox load really slowly before and now it seems the load time is better! Firefox is my preferred browser... The only thing is missing is a feature like Chrome that show you your most recent used sites in thumbnail in the startup page... May be a addin exists that do that.... somebody have an idea?

Opera not happy with Microsoft. http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9135564/Opera_Microsoft_s_minor_t... Lets hope the EU puts more pressure on Microsoft's evil practices.

@robertsjoe: Microsoft's evil practices? Like putting a web browser in the OS in the 21st century? That is truly EVIL! I cannot think of any other operating system that has a browser built in the package... WAIT... Linux, FreeBSD, Solaris and (ohhh yeah) MAC OSX.

@robertsjoe I thought Paul Thurrott recently asked the commenters to stay on topic? Your comment is completely off topic.

It may be a little faster, but I'm liking IE 8 UI better. Since Waethorn instructed me to use Compatibility View for my work needs, the speed increase from IE 7 is significant, so I'm sold. I don't even have FF installed any more on 4 PC's [and Vista on my Mac Pro Tower as well, so that's five]. I still prefer the new Safari to FF on a Mac, but FF speed is pretty much par right now, and Safari and FF look very, very, very similar.

Why can't they just put out hotfixes for FF with an automatic update feature?

Wae, My firefox updated automatically to 3.5.1. Yours didn't?
