Firefox 3.5 faster and stealth browsing features

Mozilla has launched its latest browser, Firefox 3.5, and at first glance it appears to be an improvement with solid reviews. It certainly is speedier, but the broader question is whether the Firefox can adjust as a 300 pound gorilla.

Firefox has gained about 3 percentage points to 22.5 percent in market share, according to Net Applications’ statistics since July 2008, and Firefox backer Mozilla doubtless hopes for more gains with Tuesday’s release of Firefox 3.5. But Apple’s Safari and Google’s Chrome each gained 2 percentage points, to 8.4 percent and 1.8 percent, respectively, indicating a growing appetite for alternatives to Internet Explorer that’s not completely met by Firefox. Opera stayed flat at about 0.7 percent. ( I use both version 9 and 10, slim and fast)

Features include better JavaScript performance, a new wipe clean porn Private Browsing Mode, native support for open video and audio and something Mozilla has Orwellishly dubbed Location Aware Browsing.

Mozilla wheeled out the all-important speed stats today as well. It claimed that Firefox 3.5 was “more than two times faster” than its predecessor, and “ten times faster than Firefox 2 on complex websites.”

The browser can be downloaded here and Mozilla has the full skinny on what’s new here.

Notes :  At this moment, Firefox 3.5 still not compatible with Real Player Browser Record plugin addon. Not sure when Real will have a compatible updates, I am really looking forward for it.

Latest Updates: It seems like Real.com have release and update that fix this problem. Now everything works with Real Browser download plugin in Firefor 3.5

Now back to Firefox 3.1.13, current 3.5 firefox is having with Javascript apps.
