    Hello Everyone.

    You may already have noticed that Mozilla has launched its v3.5, I have upgraded my Mozilla FireFox from 3.0.11 to 3.5 & I am surprised too see many improvements here in this version.

    I would like to share my views about this new version that kick IE8 (Which is already nothing) out of Browsers Wars.

    1. Loading Time:
    On my PC, when I have 3.0.11, First time launching firefox, launching time was around 10-12 Seconds. It has been improved very much & its reduced to just 5-6 second, almost half time.

    2. Speed.
    It has very good speed, I noticed a big browsing speed difference in this version, people who say Chrome & IE8 is fastest, must use 3.5 version.

    3. Reliable.
    I am using it from the last two hours, tried too many sites & scripts & it works. No error, hang, or crashing problems till now.

    4. Best Part.
    I was sick that FireFox were using too much ram, I have 1GB DDR2 RAM & if I open several Video Sharing sites, it take more than 400mb of ram. I am surprised that 3.5 is not taking that type of RAM. I am currently view Youtube videos & uploading some videos to mega videos & youtube at the same time & ram usage is just around 75-85MB :eek: This made me too much happy.

    Finally they added the "open new tab" beside the tabs. Very usefull especially if you're lazy using the keyboard, you don't need to press the control key everytime you will open new tab.

    I have downloaded it and I love it! One "problem", which is not Mozilla's problem is it is not compatible with the new AdWords interface. Maybe AdWords has fixed the bug by now, but as of yesterday, you still couldn't log into it using Firefox.

    Other than that, it's sleek and beautiful!

    Yes, 3.0.11 was having so many issues and it was freezing as well.
    But they have improved quickly and new 3.5 version is excellent.

    When does firefox browser itself notifies an upgrade automatically? I find the update notification not coming through as soon as it is launched. I guess they wait for little more time and stability to emerge.

    I always wait for my own browser to suggest me to upgrade before I do so. Hence, I will wait this time as well! :)

    There are millions and millions of users and many servers around the world that have to be updated to deliver it. That's why some may get the notification while others have to wait.

    One thing I've noticed about the new browser, it is extremely fast. Just as fast as Chrome. I was changing AdWdords ads yesterday and I could open 10-15 tabs working on multiple ads and it acted stable.
