Mozilla Firefox 3.6 (Final)
Firefox 3.6 is built on Mozilla’s Gecko 1.9.2 web rendering platform, which has been under development since early 2009 and contains many improvements for web developers, add-on developers, and users. This version is also faster and more responsive than previous versions and has been optimized to run on small device operating systems such as Maemo.
Notable Firefox 3.6 features include:
- Available in more than 70 languages – get your local version.
- Support for a new type of theme called Personas, which allow users to change Firefox’s appearance with a single click.
- Protection from out-of-date plugins to keep users safer as they browse.
- Open, native video can now be displayed full screen and supports poster frames. Read the rest of this entry
Firefox 3.6 Beta 3 Released
Mozilla has released yet another beta for Firefox 3.6, this is the third beta meaning the RC is at hand, this beta fixes more than 80 bugs and much more stable and the improved JavaScript engine does a good job in rendering but the 3.6 is marginally faster than 3.5 I hope this will change in 3.7.
If you are using 3.6 beta 1 or 3.6 beta 2 I advise you to upgrade ASAP. Incompatible plugins are always an issue, but you can always disable compatibility checking by following this guide, but Its better you install Mozilla’s Add-on Compatibility Reporter add-on and tell Mozilla if your favorite add-ons work with the new Firefox release. This add-on disables compatibility check as well.
I have checked and I’m confirming that Firefox 3.6 Beta 3 DOES NOT break the following extensions:
LastPass
Xmarks
Greasemonkey
Ad Block Plus
Ad Block Plus Element Hiding Helper
