Hey, is this a stable version of FireFox 3.6?
Parseus
No, it's Release Candidate version - it candidates to be stable.
Debjit
Does this version support the so called "Install extensions without restarting Fox"?
Felipe
Actually, by stable I meant if it's not buggy or anything.
Bobby Phoenix
Being an RC, it is very stable. Usually when they release RC versions, it is pretty much what the final release will be. Maybe a final tweek here and there, but for the most part, it's good to go.

Hey VG. Just wondering. How come your name is "Vishal Gupta"? 'Cause its kinda funny how it both rhymes, matches, and sounds right. At the beginning when I first visited this site, I thought that was your online name... but its actually your real name! XD
Any meaning to your name? Like I dunno... just curious.
