    Downloaded Firefox 3.5 Yet?

    If you were not a part of the at least 5+ million fans who rushed to make this version of Firefox capture about 2.5% of the global browser market last week, be sure to give this free download a try here.  (Firefox already possesses about 22% of market share thanks to its earlier avatars).  Available in 70 languages, it promises improved speed (boasts of a new Java script engine) and enhanced compatibility with new online video standards (supports HTML 5 audio and video features) even allowing you to watch videos directly on a webpage without plug-ins.  In addition, it has introduced a private browsing mode that lets you wipe out your browsing history including cookies, searches, visited pages and passwords.

    You can also expect to find a geolocation technology that customizes your searches according to your location, fancy downloadable fonts and a long awaited “tab in waiting” feature denoted by  a plus sign.  As for Internet Explorer users, you will probably find many features in this Firefox version that are strikingly similar to IE, and frankly I find it advantageous on many occasions to have more than one browser on my system.
