The latest Release Candidate for Firefox 3 has hit the Mozilla FTP site, but many users will be disappointed that another round of testing stands between them and a final release.

I'm glad to see the FF project remains vibrant, but I'm quite happy with Opera, thank you.

Working a charm here. All of the plugins that I want to use work fine (Ablock Plus, Glasser and No Menubar). (Don't worry, I still see all of Bit-Tech's lovely ads

).

Same here, the add ons I use are here. I had a few issues in the Betas with JavaScript. But since RC1 I haven't had any issues.

Cheater!

Anyways, memory usage seems to be much more in control, especially when you start dealing with Flash stuff. Still a lot, but it doesn't seem to spiral out of control as time goes on and 5-10% of my RAM for a program that takes 40-50% of my time is fine by me.

The good thing about Firefox RCs is that when they decide to make one RTM you don't need to redownload it, so not such a big deal if RC2 becomes the RTM.

Are you guys going to download it later today???

Im still on the fence, since FF2 gave me so many problems when I downloaded it... much more than the IE btw...

I created a poll to find out how many ppl are planning to Download it today:

I'll download it, but I won't install it until (most of) my addons have been updated.
