Mozilla sets firefox 3.5 final release for tuesday


Mozilla is going to launch firefox 3.5 on tuesday.The final version of Firefox 3.5 will be posted for download tomorrow morning.The new features in Firefox are the latest, fast, javascript engine called TraceMonkey,a privacy mode and the location-aware browsing.It has many performance improvements that ranges from suppport for video and audio HTML5 tags to support for Web worker threads - enhanced scripting that lets site developers shift JavaScript computations to a background thread.

It faces renewed competition on almost every front, including Microsoft's Internet Explorer 8, Google's Chrome, Opera Software's Opera and Apple's Safari 4.

When Mozilla releases Firefox 3.5 for Windows, Mac and Linux, it will be available for download from the company's site. Existing users will be able to grab it by selecting "Check for Updates" within the browser.

If users rush to download Firefox 3.5 as they did with version 3.0 last summer, users may experience delays getting the upgrade.
