Today, Mozilla have published the final version of Firefox 3.5.

Initially called 3.1, Mozilla have renamed the new version of Firefox, version 3.5, code name Shiretoko, due to many improvements and new features such as:

- Better performance and stability with the new TraceMonkey JavaScript engine
- The ability to provide Location Aware Browsing using web standards for geolocation
- Support for native JSON, and web worker threads
- Support for new web technologies such as HTML5 video and audio elements
- etc. (for more, click here)

I invite you also to discover FoxTab, a Firefox add-on which allows you to view your tabs in a different style : it brings innovative 3D functionality to your Firefox, like in Safari 4.



It eases switching between tabs for people like me who often have more than 10 tabs open. FoxTab offers six different layouts from which users can choose to view the thumbnails (Stack, Wall, Grid, Row...).



This nice add-on is a cross platform application which supports
almost all the operating system Windows (XP and Vista), Mac OS X et Linux, and it is compatible with Firefox 3 and 3.5.
