Firefox 3.6 RC1 now available

January 11th, 2010 admin

Section: Web , Web Browsers Firefox version 3.6 is the first major update since 3.5, which was released approximately 6 months ago.

If you feel like you’re in the mood of testing out the release candidate , you don’t have to worry about future updates. The software will automatically update itself, and will eventually be exactly the same as the final Firefox 3.6 release itself. Read [ The Mozilla Blog ] Full Story
