I downloaded it about a week ago. If you have RC2 or RC3 on Mac, then you have the final release. ;)

I've had problems with Firefox crashing too frequently. Crashes much more than IE.

Now that's a laugh. FF is the most stable browser I've ever used. I wouldn't go back to IE if Bill Gates paid me.  <_<

Then it's your guys computers, because, as with Gary, and the majority of FF users, I've had no major problems. In fact, FF 3, as promised, runs faster than previous versions. :yes:

I've been having problems with Firefox on my Mac where the program doesn't respond. I have to force quit it in order for it to get working again, and it's really annoying.

Don't use it on Mac then. I'm not familiar with Firefox on mac, so I have no specific advice, but maybe it just doesn't run as well on Mac.
