Are you running Beta 3.5? If so, what is your opinion on it?

Yes I am, and sure. For me, the following is true..

Neutral: For general browsing (basic/plain sites), I noticed no gain or loss in speed.

Negative: Most add-ons are not compatible at the moment. It usually takes a few weeks for updates to add-ons to come through to enable compatibility.

Positive: Online games load a few seconds faster than usual (enough to notice). YouTube videos that use to be stop, go, stop, go have fluid playback now. Streaming music takes less time. Hell, even the new DS homepage loads a bit faster. So I guess I would say anything involving Flash has gotten a small boost. Download speeds have increased as well. Downloading a 1GB file use to take 1 hour 20 mins. Now, the same 1GB file takes 55 mins.

I've been using Beta versions of Firefox for just over a year now and have never experienced issues. So if stability is a concern, I honestly think you have nothing to worry about. If for some reason you don't like the beta, It is really easy to uninstall and go back to the latest public release.

Thanks for that response.  I always like to get feedback from those that are beta testing before I dive into it.  Looks to be ok and I'll probably go ahead and dl it.

Thanks again.
