Mozilla: Firefox 3 is not buggy but RC2 may be necessary

Iria · May 28, 2008, 05:28 PM

The Firefox 3 team is considering releasing a Release Candidate 2 but says the current browser code is not “buggy” as some claim.

Responding to a report about bugs identified in the recently released Firefox 3, one Firefox developer said a number of ”significant” bugs have popped up that may affect select users but overall the code is stable and almost ready to go. The team is now deciding whether a Release Candidate 2 is necessary and if not, the fixes for these issues will be made available after the new web browser ships.

I've found RC1 to be problem free, it's better than FF2 if you ask me.

How about extensions? I can't live without Tab Mix Plus, for one.

True, kinda missing my imageshack extension.

Looks like they have decided, there WILL be a RC2

Quote:

During the hour long call, developers narrowed down the list of important bugs to be fixed in RC2 to three, including one bug that causes Windows XP to crash and other incompatibilities that impact the browser’s use with Facebook, Hotmail and eBay. But most of the fixes are in and the outstanding issues won’t slow down the schedule very much, team developers said.
