Firefox 2 RC3 available

I find the following functionality interesting:

* Firefox will resume from where you left off after a system crash
or browser restart

So if a page causes firefox to crash; when I start firefox again it will go back for some more :) I hope that's a feature I can turn off!

It asks if you want to restore your session or start a new one.

Yeah, I think it's the same functionality available in Epiphany where, if it crashes, it will as if you want to restore your session. Even so, Epiphany will usually not restore the page that crashed the browser but the page you clicked on prior to the page crashing.
