Mozilla releases Firefox 3.5 Beta 4

Just after the release of  the Firefox 3.0.10, Mozilla has rolled out the final and the fourth beta of Firefox 3.5 and it’s available to download now, and it seems that Firefox 3.5 is not far away. This is the sixth development milestone release of Firefox 3.5.

Firefox 3.5 Beta 4 is based on the Gecko 1.9.1 rendering platform, which has been under development for the past 10 months.

The browser update is said to include better performance, improved Private Browsing functionality and a number of new web-programming features. The browser is now faster as it takes advantage of the TraceMonkey engine for running websites’ JavaScript programs.

Private browsing now leaves no trace on your computer at all, so prying eyes can’t see the websites that you look at when you have a bit of, er, ‘me time’.

Geo-browsing

Other improvements include: built-in JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) technology for exchanging data between servers and browsers; support for tags to describe audio and video content; and support for location-based browsing.

The beta is ready to use now, but Mozilla does note on its website that “while this release is considered to be stable, it is intended for developers and members of our testing community to use for early evaluation and feedback.
