Mozilla is gearing up to launch its latest Firefox browser incarnation tomorrow, June 30. It’s been a long time coming, having started life as a more straight-forward Firefox 3.1 update. Instead, the proposed changes became so exhaustive that Mozilla changed the version number to Firefox 3.5 to signify the amount extra work that had gone into it.
A Mozilla spokesperson has confirmed that they’re “98% sure it will launch”, with that 2% margin for error accounting for any last minute bugs that need to be fixed. A release candidate version of 3.5 has been available for some time, with positive reports in terms of speed and performance.
So what else is new in Fifefox 3.5? The upgraded browser will support HTML5 video and audio, something we’ve been hearing a lot about recently, and it’ll have a private browsing or ‘pr0n mode’, which means you’ll be keeping it locked to the fox when having a late night delve in the seedy side of the internet.
