Most of you may have noticed that Firefox 3.5 has just been released. Here is a quick overview of what new features and improvements it has:
Key Features
- HTML 5 – Essentially this means more people will be able to support markup such as the video tag and footer tag, which makes the internet a more indefinable place. We can also stop using those annoying
- TraceMonkey JavaScript Engine – This makes our JavaScript run faster, which means we can use jQuery less sparingly.
- Geo-Location – We can easily localize our users experience.
- More CSS Features – Mainly the ability to download fonts, which gives us more freedom with typography.
