The Mozilla developers have released the final version of Firefox 3.5.7. The latest version of the popular web browser is currently transferred to mirror servers worldwide to ensure another error and lag free updating experience for Firefox users who will begin to update their web browser shortly after the official announcement of the release has been made.
It is expected that the announcement will be made later today and that Firefox 3.5.6 browsers will pick up the new version release and prompt their users to upgrade the browser.
The beta release notes classify the upgrade as a performance and stability update. It fixes three bugs of which one has been classified as critical and two as major.
Fixed a common stability issue.
Fixed a problem with how updates were being presented to users.
Firefox users who do not want to wait that long should monitor popular software download portals like Betanews or MajorGeeks as these are usually the first to offer the new Firefox version for download.
The release notes are accessible here. They link to the bugzilla listing of bugs that have been fixed in this version of Firefox.
A release of Firefox 3.0.17 is also expected to hit the Firefox ftp servers soon as it has been scheduled for release today as well.

Wondering why there are still some Internet users do not want to upgrade their FF 3.0 to FF 3.5.
The upgrading experience as always with Firefox is perfect, it’s the after results that are less than perfect.
Firefox has actually crashed and locked up for me less in the past month, although it has still regularly taken over the processor and caused my laptop to run slow or to lock up, requiring restarts of Firefox every few hours.
Unfortunately for me the latest version is less stable again and I have seen the busy cursor appearing, with the broswer just sitting there busy but not crashing, forcing me to reboot the computer in order to save my tab settings (clopsing Firefox loses them).
