Firefox 3.5 is Officially Out!
July 1st, 2009 by Tweet
Never found a reason to switch your browser? Well now is the time to seriously consider it! Its official! The new version of the Firefox web browser has been out on the market since yesterday, and it is better than ever. It features some amazing improvements that make it faster, easier to use, and more secure that other browsers. Moreover, the new Firefox has a better performance in JavaScript with the use of the TraceMonkey JavaScript Engine, which makes Firefox 3.5 twice as fast as Firefox 3. In addition, its JavaScript core includes the much preferred method document.getElementsByClassName, which allows you to locate elements with a specific class name. I personally prefer and recommend the use of Firefox because it is faster than all other browsers, adopts more standards, and allows for the use of more plug ins to make Web Developing easier! Below see some of the great new features that the new Firefox has added to make the Firefox browser that much better!
New Features:
Super Speed:Do you have the need for speed? Well here you go! This new Firefox the fastest yet! This new Firefox consists of the TraceMonkey JavaScript engine, which offers significantly improved browser performance, because it is now more than twice as fast as Firefox 3.0. This new feature means various daily used web applications will be easier and faster to use. This is one of my favorite new features, because it makes our web use more functional and efficient.
Private Browsing: Want to stay undercover? This feature allows for confidential browsing, where you will not leave any information behind for others to see. This feature can be enabled and disabled at will and it allows you to go in and out of the private browsing mode quickly and easily. There are times when you need to do thing secretively, or you just do not like having other people know your business. This feature allows for you information to be kept your information, and it can even be enabled permanently if desired.
Forget This Site:Made a mistake? This cool feature allows you to erase a site as if you never visited it for the times you have qualms about having visited a particular site. As Firefox.com says, “With this feature, you can remove every trace of that site from your browser—no questions asked!”
Downloadable Fonts:Sick of the same old fonts? This attribute lets us view a larger selection of fonts on the web, which can make web design more detailed and interesting. Furthermore, us web developers can construct customized fonts that will always be correctly shown even if the viewer does not have that particular font installed on their computer. This feature will allow for great creativity in font design, which is an area that many web developers have felt restricted in the past.
In addition to the new features, there are also great improvements in the toolbar, browser customization, anti-spyware and anti-malware, tabs, and session restore.
