Firefox 3.5.2 Released

post #1 of 10
Thread Starter 
With all the whistles and bells ... Many add-on are still not up to date.

"The Web is all about innovation, and Firefox sets the pace with dozens of new features to deliver a faster, more secure and customizable Web browsing experience for all.

User Experience. The enhancements to Firefox provide the best possible browsing experience on the Web. The new Firefox smart location bar, affectionately known as the "Awesome Bar," learns as people use it, adapting to user preferences and offering better fitting matches over time.

Performance. Firefox is built on top of the powerful new Gecko platform, resulting in a safer, easier to use and more personal product.

Security. Firefox raises the bar for security. The new malware and phishing protection helps protect from viruses, worms, trojans and spyware to keep people safe on the Web.

Customization. Everyone uses the Web differently, and Firefox lets users customize their browser with more than 5,000 add-ons."

"# Use the new Private Browsing Mode and the updated Clear Recent History function (in the Tools menu) to keep your browsing habits a secret.
# Tear tabs off the tab bar to create new windows, and drag and drop them from one Firefox window to another.
# Watch a video in your browser without needing any plugins or external media players.
# Control the Smart Location Bar results with special characters"

Get it via Firefox update or here.

Happy and safe surfing!

An interesting "bug" finding. Only on Vista 64 Bits, the 32 Bits version has no issue.

Firefox 3.5 can disable the plug-in of:

Jave(TM) Paltform SE 6 U14 6.0.140.8
Next generation Java Plug-in 1.9.0_14 for Mozilla Browsers

This disabling will stop any in-page Java clip. Re-enable it fixes the issue.

"...You can actually read WHILE scrolling. Kind of like the credits at the end of a movie, but controlled by scrolling the mouse wheel. Works with text-boxes and drop-down boxes too..."
