Found this. Although I haven't downloaded it I thought it might be of interest to fellow Firefox users......

What's all this 'candidate 3' stuff about?

Firefox 1.5 Release Candidate 3 is now available for download. This is the third release candidate of our next generation Firefox browser, to be released later this year, and it is being made available to our developer and testing community for compatibility testing and to solicit feedback.

Note: This may not be the final release of our Web browser; it has been made available for testing purposes only, with no end-user support. If that sounds scary, you'd probably be better off with the latest version of Firefox 1.0.

It's just the third version of the new Firefox 1.5 beta Draggletail.
The whole browser has been virtually rebuilt from the ground up so they are really wanting to get it right before releasing it to everyone.

From what i've been reading the second version was virtually perfect though 8)

Be aware that many extensions won't work with 1.5 just yet.

Are you noticing any speed increase that Mozilla were going on about adaline?
They seem to have gone quiet on about it recently.

Guess i'm going to have to try it then. Back soon! :heyhey:

[EDIT] Back up and running as smooth as ever (touch wood). Tab Mix wasn't compatible but found Tab Mix Plus in the extensions and it works a charm :)

Need to find a short term replacement for Spellbound though :(
