So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do.
Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game.
The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...

That's what they predicted about 3.5, but it came sooner than expected
Any who, it might be a few months before 3.6/3.7 are officially released

Under the known issues - MacOS X has none!
Even Linux does! 1 up to Mac there!

As to the "better features," sounds like I already have all of this in 3.5.2.
1. Tab Previews: I've been using FoxTab addon, which has several cool ways of switching tabs.
2. Haven't had any problems with javascript speeds.
3. Keep your add-ons to under a dozen, and FF loads as fast on my XP machine as IE, Opera, or Safari (all under three seconds). Only Chrome is slightly faster.
4. Session restore has always worked perfectly for me, but maybe this is because FF rarely crashes?

Possibly, you might want to check http://portableappz.blogspot.com/
or just inform them about the release and they'll have a portable version within a few hours on their blog
That, or you wait it out until Portable Apps has 3.6 Alpha on their sever

Quite frankly, I am still not having much luck having 3.5 work smoothly for me. On Windows XP with a dozen or so add-ons, I've had problems loading pages on various versions of FF 3.5 - loads of timeout / unable to load page errors, basically rendering the browser pretty much useless for me. So downgraded back to 3.0.13, which was alot more stable. Speed means nothing if pages don't load. Mine you, at first I thought maybe my system was loaded with crap, but last week, I built a brand new PC for a family member and experienced the same thing on a freshly installed Win XP.
