Mozilla, Web Browser | featured news

Mozilla drops the 'RC' and 'beta' qualifications to bring you the first complete version of Firefox for Android (it's available for Maemo, too.)

As you're aware by now, earlier today Mozilla officially unveiled Firefox 4 to the world. At first glance, it's a great update with massive speed improvements. And that's good, because that's exactly what they need to combat the fast-rising Chrome browser from Google.

After months of testing, Mozilla has finally released Firefox 3.6, the newest version of its popular browser.The new edition of Firefox sports an array of features, least of which is an increase in speed — 20% faster than Firefox 3.5, according to Mozilla. It uses Gecko 1.9.2 web-rendering, which improves its load times, startup speed and stability. Javascript execution is faster and smoother as well.

The latest update to the Firefox web browser has now been made available. Released Friday evening, Firefox 3.6 Beta 1 promises a number of new features, including built-in theme support and drag-and-drop file uploads, but perhaps most importantly, there is a renewed focus on browser speed.

Mozilla said the latest version of its Firefox browser 3.0.11 was downloaded 150 million times during the first 24 hours it was made available.
