Firefox 3.5 Beta 4 Available For Download

9:00PM April 28, 2009 | Kevin Purdy

Bleeding edge browsers and web developers take note, for the latest Firefox 3.5 (previously 3.1) beta is in the wild.

Were you expecting more? Tell us how 3.5b4 comes across in the comments. [Firefox 3.5b4 Beta]

Firefox 3.0.10 Released, Fixes Major Stability Issue

9:00AM April 28, 2009 | Adam Pash
