Firefox 3.5 Release Candidate 2 Available For Trial

The browser war rages on with Firefox users able to download Firefox 3.5 Release Candidate 2 for Windows, Mac and Linux. The program has advanced from its beta stage and its first release candidate that was made available this past Wednesday. Release Candidate 1 and the beta 4 version of Firefox 3.5 included major updates from Firefox 3 such as private broswing, geolocation, faster performance, local storage for offline surfing, and video capabilities Ogg/Vorbis which include non flash video playback (which comes from the heavy prevalence of HTML 5 in this new broswer).

Release Candidate 2, launched yesterday, contains minor stability issues from the first release candidate. Mozilla’s director of Firefox, Mike Beltzner states that he expects the 3.5 version to be out before the end of June. The release candidate versions are the last fixes before the program becomes the public official version. Hopefully most of the kinks have been worked out from the 2 release candidate versions as well as the beta and we will be able to fully use the new version within the next week.
