If you were planning to host a Firefox 3 launch party this week, keep that bubbly on ice a bit longer.

Mozilla on Wednesday released Firefox 3 Release Candidate 3. Windows and Linux users won't likely feel a thing; the new browser is considered stable on those platforms.

The extra release candidate addresses some lingering issues on the Mac OS X operating system. The changes are internal.

The previous test version, Firefox 3 Release Candidate 2, can also be downloaded for Windows, Portable, Mac, and Linux systems.

http://www.squarefree.com/burningedge/ is usually a good place to learn about all version changes, including all nightly builds.

The title of this article is confusing and the title should include something about the RC3 only for Mac OS X. Then again, I suppose the title was intentionally made to be confusing so that more people would be interested in reading the article.
