Firefox 3.5 Will Arrive June 30
June 26, 2009
Mozilla will release the next major version of Firefox on Tuesday, June 30, Webmonkey has learned. Mozilla confirmed the news Friday afternoon.
The company previously made a promise that it would make the browser available for download “by the end of June” this year. Since next Tuesday falls on the last day of the month, Mozilla is sticking to its word — just barely.
Firefox 3.5 is the first major revision of the popular open-source browser since version 3 landed a little over a year ago, in June of 2008. It features a faster rendering engine, stability enhancements and a new JavaScript engine that boosts the performance of most web-based applications. Firefox 3.5 will also include support for the most widely-used elements of HTML 5, the set of next-generation web standards that allows for offline data access, enhanced web graphics and multimedia playback without plug-ins.
Firefox 3.5 is currently in the post-beta release candidate stage. You can grab a preview release from Mozilla’s website if you can’t wait to download the final code on Tuesday.
Firefox is the browser of choice of between 20 and 25 percent of web surfers. It is second only to Microsoft Internet Explorer, which commands about 65 or 70 percent of the browser market. Browser share data is much disputed, based on who is doing the compiling.
If you’d like more information about Firefox 3.5 and what’s new, check out our links to previous coverage listed below, or head over to Mozilla’s Chris Blizzard’s blog. Blizzard is almost through with his 35 days project in which he highlights Firefox 3.5’s new features and even has some examples of how developers are taking advantage of the new tools to push the limits of the web.

Firefox 3.5 瀏覽器最近將正式發佈 網友屏息以待
說到網路瀏覽器，大家會想到的不外乎是微軟的IE瀏覽器、Mozilla基金會的Firefox瀏覽器、蘋果的Safari瀏覽器、Google的Chrome瀏覽器以及來自歐洲的Opera瀏覽器等等。以往瀏覽器市場幾乎被微軟的Internet Explorer寡佔，但近幾年來情況已有所改變：IE瀏覽器雖然還是一枝獨秀，但Firefox的竄起速度也非常驚人，逐漸有和IE分庭抗禮之勢。
為了增加功能和特色，最近各家瀏覽器頻頻改版、升級，IE瀏覽器的版本進入8.0之後，的確有長足的進步，而Safari正在開發中的4.0版本也非常有看頭。至於大家期待已久的火狐瀏覽器，在陸續推出3.5 RC1和RC2版之後，最近也傳出終於要正式發佈的好消息！
據瞭解，Firefox 3.5版本的最大特色包括執行速度更為快速、具有全新TraceMonkey JavaScript引擎以及更快的頁面下載速度，另外支持HTML 5的嵌入式影音功能，看來Firefox 3.5將會是一款完全符合網路生活的瀏覽器。
傳聞Mozilla基金會將在本週二（六月三十日）正式發表Firefox 3.5 瀏覽器，且讓我們一起期待更棒的網路瀏覽用戶體驗吧！

一天。還有一天，我便可以重投 Firefox 的懷抱中！
老老實實，次次都有人話快左，點知經過 N 次更新後，咪又係慢番！所以速度方面我唔會有太大期望。

My Linux version of Firefox had to update the FireBug only!
