Firefox 3.5

As usual, I upgrade the pc I use at work before anything else: I use it for more time and I usually have to fix issues quickly. It's a Mandriva 2001 Spring, of course, and firefox has been installed in /opt using the tarball from the Mozilla Foundation.

Apart of the usual addons that get disabled, everything seems fine. It seems pretty responsive too, in spite of the low specs of the machine (Intel P4 2GHz, 768 MB of Ram, slow ide disk). A couple of crashes hit the usability, but thery a mostly related with plugins, maybe they should be updated too.

I don't use many of the new features, so I don't comment on them.
