New version of Firefox, version 3.5, ready for download - here's the shortened URL: Mozilla Firefox download page.
This new version supports the following new features (from the Mozilla site):
- Anti-Malware -- Firefox protects you from viruses, worms, trojan horses and spyware. If you accidentally access an attack site, it will warn you away from the site and tell you why it isn’t safe to use. Firefox checks every part of a Web page before loading it to make sure nothing harmful is sneaking in the back door.
- Anti-Phishing -- Shop and do business safely on the Internet. Firefox gets a fresh update of web forgery sites 48 times in a day, so if you try to visit a fraudulent site that’s pretending to be a site you trust (like your bank), a browser message—big as life—will stop you.
- Smaller Memory Footprint -- Short and sweet, Firefox uses less of your computer’s memory while it’s running.
- Faster Page Load -- A redesigned page rendering and layout engine means you see Web pages faster—and in the way they were meant to be seen.
- Color Profile Support -- improved The colors in your online photo albums will be sharper and more brilliant than ever, thanks to improvements to our graphics engine.
- Super Speed -- Fasten your seatbelt: Firefox 3.5 includes the TraceMonkey JavaScript engine, which gives the browser dramatically better performance than ever before. Firefox has always been fast, but this is the fastest Firefox ever (more than twice as fast as Firefox 3, and ten times as fast as Firefox 2), meaning Web applications like email, photo sites, online word processors and more will feel snappier and more responsive.
- Private Browsing -- Sometimes it’s nice to go undercover. When this feature is enabled, you won’t leave a single browsing fingerprint behind for others to discover. You can slip in and out of private browsing mode quickly, so it’s easy to return to what you were doing before as if nothing ever happened (you can also browse privately all the time).
- Forget This Site -- Having second thoughts about having visited a certain Web site? With this feature, you can remove every trace of that site from your browser—no questions asked!
- Reopen Closed Tabs -- If you accidentally close a tab, you can reopen it in one click. Just view Recently Closed Tabs in the History menu and select the tab you’d like to reopen.
- Automated Update -- Our open-source security strategy lets us find—and fix—security issues in record time, making Firefox the safest way to surf. Install upgrades when you receive automatic notification or wait until you’re ready.
