Mozilla has made available for download Firefox 3.6 revision 5.There’s little doubt that Firefox is the catalyst that’s made everybody’s browser a better tool. So even if you aren’t using Firefox as your default browser (as I do … by default is Google Chrome), it’s still worth keeping an eye on.
Firefox 3.6 is a minor update, but it still brings to the table some cool stuff. Here’s a listing of what’s new:
[NEW] Made some changes to how we allow third party software to integrate with Firefox in order to prevent crashes.
[NEW] This beta is available in more than 70 languages - get your local version.
More than 100 bug fixes from the last beta to improve performance, stability, security and features.
The ability to run scripts asynchronously to speed up page load times.
Users can now change their browser’s appearance with a single click, with built in support for Personas.
Firefox 3.6 will alert users about out of date plugins to keep them safe.
Open, native video can now be displayed full screen, and supports poster frames.
Support for the WOFF font format.
Improved JavaScript performance, overall browser responsiveness and startup time.
Support for new CSS, DOM and HTML5 web technologies.
Performance still dominates the headlines, but it’s also good to see Mozilla building in more crash-resistance into the browser, as well as adding a feature that keeps an eye out for outdated plugins.
