    Basically a preview of 3.5. Closest release to the final product!

    If you are already running the beta, just check for updates. If you want to try it out click here

    Best news of the day:

    "If you’re not yet a Firefox 3.5 Beta user, we recommend that you wait for the upcoming Firefox 3.5 Release Candidate, which should be in the next 1-2 weeks."

    Should only be a few more weeks after that for the official release, no?

    Actually, it is not the closest thing to the released product.

    3.5b99 is a preview release of 3.5rc1. There may or may not be an rc2 before 3.5 is oficially released.

    Yeah, you are right. When I first saw it get released I read it was the closest build to the final, but now that it has been out for a while I realized it is more like a Release Candidate Candidate, lol.
