Ron: My Desktop is dual boot. M$ WinXP Home and CentOS 5.3 (32 bit). I rarely use M$ Windows, but yesterday I needed to use it, and I was offered an Update for Mozilla Firefox. What was offered was not 3.5. It was 3.0.13 as I recall. I updated to 3.0.13. Like you, I will wait until yum update finds Firefox 3.5. And, on the Windows side, I will wait until they offer it to me. Having the "latest and greatest" is not always the best idea. My 2 Pesos.... Lanny
I'm running Windows 2000 in VirtualBox -- I use "Movie Magic Screenwriter," "Visual dBASE," "NetObjects Fusion" and a couple other specialty programs. I also noticed that the two lines of Firefox (3.0.x and 3.5.x) were treated as separate products. I had tried Firefox 3.5 beta and ran the updater (it went to 3.5.1) -- then realized that I still had the old Firefox, ran the updater and got 3.0.11 (from 3.0.8). I ended up uninstalling the older "line." Wonder how long Firefox is going to support both "versions?"
As for Firefox 3.5 on CentOS -- it did seem to be faster, but if I have to chose between speed and reliable, I'll go with reliable.
