Firefox 3.5 Released

Posted on July 1, 2009 by Michael Price

The latest release of Firefox (3.5) is now available for download. So far I am extremely impressed with the stability and speed. There are quite a few changes for a .5 upgrade, not the least of which is support for the long awaited HTML5 tags for audio and video. When fully implemented the web is going be a much better multimedia environment that will pretty much do away with the need for plug-ins to implement video and audio content. You’ll be able to enclose any file in a simple <video>yourcontent.whateverformat</video>.

HTML5 and the upcoming CSS3 standards will allow developers to create extremely powerful web based applications.

Additional changes in 3.5 include
-Support for downloadable fonts
-CSS Media Queries
-HTML5 <canvas>
-ICC Profiles
-Location Aware Browsing
-Available in 70+ Languages and more

If this version proves to be as stable and secure as advertised, it will certainly have Firefox back on track to keep stealing browser market share.

    While I do agree that Firefox 3.5 is great if you use Google Gears it is not yet compatible. I love Google offline access but now I don’t have that luxury.

    While the first thing that jumped out at me was the improved browsing speed, as you said, there are indeed quite a few changes for a .5 upgrade. Lots of improvements and the direction of these improvements will make the Web a better place as time goes on.

    Yes it is secure to use and it is also user friendly. But some time it takes much time when suffering to good quality sites.

    The computer security matters have covered in this version of Mozilla firefox. It is more faster and user friendly as compared to the previous version.
