Firefox 3.5 coming soon

Mozilla Foundation announced it’s plan to release FireFox 3.5 beta, later this week, Firefox 3.5 promises some new features largely based on HTML 5 — the latest update to the core language of the World Wide Web. Mozilla says Firefox 3.5 will deliver noticeably improved performance, security and a better user experience overall. More specific features include:

• Audio and video elements that free media from being dependent on plug-ins, and give Web developers greater control over how media will appear on a Web page
• Capability to drag and drop elements within and among Websites
• Private browsing feature that prevents Firefox from recording your Web activities
• One-click deletion for specific Websites: similar to private browsing, right clicking and selecting “forget about this” for any Website in Firefox’s Web history will delete all history records relating to that Website.
• Wi-Fi based geolocation (opt-in feature)
• Downloadable fonts so pages look exactly as the designer intended
