Firefox 3.5 Should Be Available Today!
According to PC Magazine, Firefox 3.5 should be available today, July 30.
Mozilla is scheduled to release Firefox 3.5 on Tuesday morning.
“The Mozilla team is mobilizing to ship Firefox 3.5 and it’s looking like Tuesday morning,” a Mozilla spokeswoman said in an e-mail.
Tuesday’s unveiling will come after three Firefox 3.5 release candidates in three weeks.
The first RC was made available in mid-June to about 800,000 beta users. The June 22 RC2 then incorporated feedback from the RC1 beta users, as did the final June 25 RC3.
Firefox 3.5 will include a private browsing mode that hides browser activity, a sped-up JavaScript engine known as TraceMonkey, new location services, and support for several emerging HTML 5 features.
