Yay, FF 3.5 is out today and can be downloaded here.
New features: Private browsing/forget this site Speed increase New security features Smaller memory footprint Improved awesome bar Much improved tabs Location aware browsing Built in media player Support for HTML5 (along with other newer languages) And MORE I really like it so far. You can try out HTML5 for videos here and audio here. Basically it's built with HTML, not with those other players you need, which means you can do things like right click and save as for everything.

Private Browsing. Nice.
 And I don't know why, but I'm not a fan of the new icon.  Other than that, everything looks cool.

What does the icon look like? I have this addon that makes the tab like IE's (where it's next to the tabs), so I just get a small portion of a tab with a + on it.

However, I was talking about the general FF icon; the fox and the globe. It's too... bright? I liked the darker one.

Ran into a nasty bug with it. It just randomly shut down while I was switching tabs and now every time I open it it closes back up again.
Guess I'll just use chrome till they fix the bugs. I was enjoying it though. Not any huge differences from before but it was definitely better. How's the new awesomebar? I hated it before so I disabled it. |

Compare it to the new one. You'll see that there is a darker shade in the upper left-hand corner of the icon, which is sort of what I meant. But anyway, THAT LITTLE shade is ticking me off right now.

I'm unsure if I still have the Beta version or if I updated
 .Anyway, I enjoy having the feature of the Private Browsing Mode and the built in Media Player. Bravo on doing it again Mozilla. |

Page loads, menus, and bookmarking are slightly slower in 3.5 than 3.0.11 for me, but the program itself loads quicker. I'm still happy to upgrade though. Increased security is always a plus in web browsing. I'm also happy that all my add-ons are available. That's a huge plus to me. Quicker JavaScript execution is also great. Good work Mozilla!

I like it, I use more than one tab a lot now so the little + thing is WAY more easier. I just now installed but I noticed the icon is brighter, kinda freaky but I could care less about the way the icon is. I'm trying to get use to the "No Script" thing I downloaded because my friend gave me some freaky sites so it blocks all bad stuff.

I don't see any differences when I downloaded it, only I see one is "add tab". However, Firefox is now faster than before, and that's just what I wanted.

So private browsing is essentially a porn mode.
