Dear Mozilla: Can haz non-RC Firefox 3.5? Thanx!


Mozilla, we love you and all, but could you do us a favor? Could you please, please drop the RC from Firefox 3.5 already? Because, honestly, I think if I read another battery of "Firefox RC# Released" reports, I'm probably going to puke on my shoes.

On the plus side for Mozilla, all these releases are great publicity. Three candidates times the number of blogs reporting on Firefox equals...what? 16 billion blogs posts? Exaggerated, I know, but it seems like I can't open Google Reader without someone poking me in the eye with another update notice.

I know there are probably still some last-minute things that need touching up, and I want a Firefox 3.5 that's as close to perfect as possible too...but is this the only way to get it?

Little annoyances can always be patched after the release, right? Like they were with Firefox 3.0, remember?

On second thought, maybe that's exactly what they're trying to avoid this time. Well, carry on then!
