The first patch for Firefox 3.5 has been released, including a fix for a serious security issue.

Firefox 3.5.1 fixes the following issues:

* Several security issues.
* Several stability issues.
* An issue that was making Firefox take a long time to load on some Windows systems.

DraconPern, could you give some info about 3.5.1? Is the CE coming out soon? Any new settings/trouble with the 3.5.x?

Hi, have you fixed the default browser issue described at http://forums.frontmotion.com/viewtopic ... 2&start=60 ? The 3.5 CE release still suffered of this problem.
Thank you

Except it still has the "browser default" problems I detailed in http://forums.frontmotion.com/viewtopic ... t=45#p2478 that show up when the MSI is uninstalled (or upgraded.)

That's what instead seems fixed to me ... Very odd

Interesting. My test was to install the non-community 3.5.1 MSI in a clean VM then uninstall. I experience the same problems as before. I should try the CE and see what happens.

My test with the Community Edition also has the problem. I'm not sure what I'm doing differently.

I simply added the new .msi CE package to upgrade an existing FF CE published software installation package (I didn't created an administrative installation). It uninstalled the old one and installed the new flawlessly.

My exact test in a clean Win XP SP3 VM:

Edit both MSIs INSTALLLEVEL to 3 using ORCA
Install FF: msiexec /i Firefox-3.5.0-en-US.msi /qb
Upgrade FF: msiexec /i Firefox-3.5.1-en-US.msi /qb
Select IE Internet Properties, then Programs tab and Default web browser shows "Internet Explorer is not currently the default web browser."

I used the italian CE version instead and I didn't modified the msi.
