Firefox 3.6 has been released today. The new edition of the browser boasts faster speed and better compatibility with todays standards, namely being HTML5-enabled.
[blippr]Firefox[/blippr]. Yeah, you’ve probably heard of it. Firefox is the browser that really challenges IE where Netscape fell short. Whereas Chrome and Safari hold roughly 4% of the market each, Firefox gets a nice ~25% share, not toppling IE’s 60%+. Firefox 3.6 has been in beta-testing for months, and a release candidate was issued this month.
Assuming there were no problems, they chose to release it. Firefox 3.6 boasts the HTML5 rendering engine, as well as improved rendering (page loading) speeds and javascript. It has autocomplete, too, and plenty of bug-fixes… but still no accelerometer support, lame. I don’t know about you, but there’s still some things it really needs before I can switch to it… like the theme, particularly hideous on Mac… come on, Firefox 4.
