If you use Tab Mix Plus, it will be disabled as incompatible in FF3.5, so you have to get a beta from the developer's web site.

Also, if you get that TMP beta and also use TreeStyleTab, they don't play nicely together. When there are multiple tabs [A][B][C] opened, new tabs opened from links on [A] will appear between [B] and [C], so it's a bit confusing.

Logmein and Microsoft .NET don't have 3.5 versions either (yet).

Microsoft .Net does... at least for Windows XP w/ IE 8. I know because just a few days ago I got an update.

Note that the update for Microsoft.Net wasn't through Firefox Add-on updates... but rather was through Microsoft's Windows Update.

Just a correction... While Firefox will show that there is no updated control for FF 3.5 and Logmein, if you go to Logmein, it will download a compatible add-on.

I am very impressed with the speed of FF 3.5

It's "Chrome Fast".

I am not noticing a lot of speed difference... Maybe because the sites I am visiting are cache hits. Maybe I should try some cache misses.

I used the "Check for update" help menu item and it came down fine.

Well i can't compare it whit Chrome because i never tried it,but i just cleared the cache and took it for a good test drive and i can say one thing its fast.

Having used both, it's not as fast as Chrome, but it is a close 2nd.

I use FF because all of the add-ons, but Chrome is blistering.

Confirmed. Thanks Stewart.

No problem. I had been checking "Add-on" updates for a week or more since I had been using the 3.5 betas and RCs... and nothing... but earlier in the week got a few Windows Updates applied and happened to notice quite by accident that one of the fixes was a Firefox compatibility update for Windows .Net.

I can't say I've seen speed enhancements... BUT that could simply be because I've been using the betas for so long now I already adapted to it being faster than 3.0xx was.
