The new browser includes built-in support for scaled-down browser skins dubbed "Personas" and adds support for new CSS, DOM and HTML 5 technologies. Release 3.6 also provides support for full-screen video and the open-source Web Open Font Format (WOFF). What does this mean exactly? One step closer towards the Browser essentially being the Operating System (OS).
"The Worlds Best Browser", according to Mozilla at least (not verified by Microsoft?)
Firefox version 3.6 also incorporates new security features to check browser plug-ins, such as Adobe's Flash Player or Apple's QuickTime, to make sure they're up-to-date, then blocks vulnerable plug-ins from loading and shows users how to update the software.
Mozilla has also boosted the browser's overall performance and reduced its startup time. JavaScript in 3.6 executes approximately 12% faster in Firefox 3.6 than in 3.5, said Mike Beltzner, the director of Firefox, while some pages load up to 20% faster. Other improvements that speed up location bar searches and let Web site designers use asynchronous script loading, are harder to measure, but should give users the feeling that Firefox 3.6 is snappier.
