The Mozilla Firefox team has released a new version of the upcoming Firefox web browser. The version is called Firefox 3.5 Preview by the team and is listed as Firefox 3.5b99 on the Mozilla ftp site and about pages in the web browser. Users who are already working with the Firefox 3.5x branch can update the web browser by going to help > check for updates. This checks if a new version of Firefox is available with the option to download the new version right away.
The Firefox team has put up a What’s New page on the Mozilla website asking beta testers to test some features specifically in this release. Webmasters might want to stay away from this release as it seems to break some site functionality. One thing that I noticed right away was that some features of the Wordpress admin interface were not working properly anymore. This includes the capability to upload and add images to the blog post (the image uploader loads in the same tab as the post) and the word count.
There are probably other problems that users will encounter over time both in Wordpress but also other software suites. I will go back to Firefox 3.5b4 after finishing this post. The only Firefox add-on that was found to be not working was the Microsoft .net Framework Assistant 1.0.

Glad to hear that someone else is having trouble with the Wordpress admin interface. At first I thought it was Greasemonkey which I just installed for the first time today, but then I tried it in Safe Mode (with no add-ons active) and it was still broken, so clearly a difference between 3.5 beta 4 and the 3.5 preview.
To fix the WP-admin upload images problem…
Disable Google gears (remove the add-on) and your good to go.
C.Hall I do not have Google Gears installed.
Pretty obviously 3.5b99 have problems with wordpress. But I am quite sure the next upgrade(correction) will be happening soon.
