A third Firefox 3.5 release candidate on its way

By Percy Cabello

A third and most likely final Firefox 3.5 release candidate is already in the works (currently on build 2) with some retouches to the Firefox icon, localization corrections, and a few performance tweaks here and there.

The 16×16 version of the Firefox icon looks much better known (as you can see in the image below FF3, RC2, an interim version, and RC3), the icon shadow has been moved a little to the left  on Mac OS X to better blend with OS generated shadow, and some pixelatoin has been removed from the 512 x 512 version.

Icon udpates for Firefox 3.5 RC3

Since the changes are pretty trivial, it won’t require a new QA cycle as it usually takes, so the new RC most likely won’t affect the targeted final release date by the end of June (next week).

Why is it important if the icon looks cool? A fast running, easily hackable browser is what makes me drool. :)
