If you’re really hyper-keen to get Firefox 8 up and running, it’s now available from Mozilla. Not via automatic update, however — that’ll happen tomorrow. But if for some reason you just plain can’t wait, it’s available from Mozilla’s FTP server right now. [Mozilla]

Monday, November 7, 2011 at 4:54 PMI grabed it earlyer today when I read it here. It dose not seem as CPU heavy as the last 2 releases. RAM wise it still seems to eat a bit.

Monday, November 7, 2011 at 9:23 PMCan anyone tell me why they started this fast version release cycle?
I don’t have a problem with it, just a little perplexed.

The Add-ons are also the biggest cause of instabilities in the first place.
