Firefox 3.5

Firefox 3.5 has been released! One of the first things you may notice is the nice shiny new icon. Why should you upgrade? Look at these.

  • Support for HTML5 <video> and <audio> tags
  • Private Browsing Mode
  • New TraceMonkey JavaScript engine
  • You can now share your location with others using Location Aware Browsing
  • Faster content rendering
  • New Web Tech like downloadable fonts, CSS media, and more!

And that is only just a small taste of what Firefox 3.5 can do! Check out the 3.5 release notes if you want more detailed information on the update.

Installing the update is very easy. In Windows select: Help, then Check for Updates. You will not loose any bookmarks. You might loose some of your Add-Ons though. Not all Add-Ons have yet been able to update for the latest Firefox release.

    I like some of the features, but I am not really happy with the update. I mean, firebug pops up at random times (not firefox’s fault), random tabs open in new windows, my first tab doesn’t have a close icon (hate it) and others. Didn’t notice any performance upgrades either.

    That’s odd…
