Firefox 3.5 - Your Default browser?
Hey Now,
So today is the day, Firefox 3.5 is released & of course like many millions of people around the world I downloaded & installed it. Firefox has been my default browser for some time now. Browsers are the most used windows application & I use many all day everyday.
Firefox 3.5 new features include:
Faster fox - the browser measured faster
Private Browsing just like all other browsers Ctrl + Shift + P I use this when shopping for diamonds for my wife.
Undo Tab Ctrl + Shift + T Similar to Ctrl + T for new tab
Video with HTML 5 - HTML 5 is around the corner & this will help everyone browse more efficently such as links within video.
TraceMonkey JavaScript engine - this is spuposed to be faster the the previous SpiderMonkey.
Geo-Location - from my understanding it will know where your located
Tab Tearing - I'm not a fan I find myself not using this even in Chrome
Firefox Add-on's are my favorite feature still about Firefox including the latest version 3.5. They allow us to customize our browser. Listed below is a top 10 Catto Firefox add-ons that I like use all the time.
