Firefox 3.5 released

[Psyko]

Yep. It's here. I already upgraded and as far as I can see, it's a bit faster. According to the changelog, it's way more then that...

• Available in more than 70 languages.
• Support for the HTML5 <video> and <audio> elements including native support for Ogg Theora encoded video and Vorbis encoded audio.
• Improved tools for controlling your private data, including a Private Browsing Mode.
• Better web application performance using the new TraceMonkey JavaScript engine.
• The ability to share your location with websites using Location Aware Browsing.
• Support for native JSON, and web worker threads.
• Improvements to the Gecko layout engine, including speculative parsing for faster content rendering.
• Support for new web technologies such as: downloadable fonts, CSS media queries, new transformations and properties, JavaScript query selectors, HTML5 local storage and offline application storage, <canvas> text, ICC profiles, and SVG transforms.

Don't get your hopes up too much. For me, the speed hasn't been improved too much. Although, I haven't applied the "about:config" hacks yet, so we'll see.

I just installed it, it runs smoothly and everything
I also added the about:config hacks already so its running even faster than before

I removed that tab thing, so it only appears when I have multiple tabs open.
Tools->settings->tabs-> and uncheck the box that say always show tab field or something like that.

That doesn't change it it's still the little + to add a tab . Plus considering how many themes are actually compatible with this new version. Most themes weren't even compatible with version 3. The only themes that I have that actually work are NASA Night Launch, aluminum, and of course the default one.

Yeah that's what I ended up doing, but I usually have more than one tab open so it doesn't really make a difference.

i use nightly tester tool to force the install of the themes, some of the themes will work perfectly this way and the plus sign changes
