I think I'm running 3.5 release not RC. I installed rc3 at work, everything went as usual (same as home). Then next morning I come and when I launch FF it tells me it's installing new version, and then does the add-ons check - everything like from the day before.
Now, I'll be honest, when I installed rc3 I didn't check what it was showing in the about dialog, but after this second update it was showing 3.5 without rc. So you guys are saying they usually don't put rc in the version number in the about dialog, but then why the heck did I have a second install/updated. Weird...
Anyway, I am happy with it though. It launches pretty much as slow, which is annoying, but 3 used to ramp up its memory consumption to 400-500 very quickly, and even when I've been working with 1 tab for a while it still wouldn't return to more normal levels. 3.5 rarely goes about 200-250, and is much better at releasing memory when tabs close.

It's odd that you took the time to suggest that you don't have an RC when Brad Linder already posted above, explaining that you do and why. Since you clearly missed it, I'll repost it for you:
"Yeah, Mozilla has a habit of not actually including the "RC" anywhere except the download page. But trust me, you still have a release candidate:

Eric explained it even further, by writing:
"Notice how it has the date "20090624"? I believe that is the sign that it is pre-release still."
I don't know about you, but mine still says "20090624." If I hadn't bothered to read the comments here, I would assume I had the updated, non-RC version too.
