If you go to Softpedia.com and click the Windows button you'll see an announcement and download links for Firefox 3.6 RC1. I just put it on both my PCs(W7 32 bit and Vista64 SP1.) Those running GradientIcool Blue theme may have to reload/reinstall the theme. After I did that using FEBE addon, my AddOn buttons showed in the status bar again. It passed my litmus tests. The pop-down descriptions on TV Guide site work, Silverlight video works on Netflix, and my AutoCopy AddOn copies. So far I haven't found any quirks or bugs.

btw does anyone know if there's an about:config setting to get rid of the beta "start page" when you switch between another version of Firefox and a beta? Every time I go back to using the beta I get an attempt to load a non-existent page.

Plus I start with about:blank so I'd rather just have it use that anyway.

edit: I set about:blank as my home page. Seems if I use the "start with blank page" setting it messes up how Tabs work.

Click to expand...

I found the fix. Do about:config and type in StartUp
look for the settings with Welcome and First Run in them.
Double click on them and change the override url to your home page.
Now you can swap back and forth without the stupid splash page.

At least it works for me. I use about:blank as my home page. I can even run Sandboxed, then with no sandbox without getting that splash page.
