With Firefox, Mozilla proved that millions of people were itching to adopt a better browser. And today, we find ourselves with multiple better browsers:  Not just Firefox, but also Google\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s minimalist Chrome, Apple\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s flashy Safari, the ever-inventive Opera, the highly social Flock, and even the no-longer-calcifying Internet Explorer 8.<\/p>\n<p>All of which means that Firefox 3.5\u00e2\u20ac\u201cwhich Mozilla plans to formally release today\u00e2\u20ac\u201cis no longer a shoo-in for the distinction of being the favorite browser of browser fans. (As I write, Firefox 3.5 hasn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t replaced 3.0 yet on the Firefox home page, but the Windows and Mac versions are live on Mozilla\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s FTP site.)<\/p>\n<p>After having spent months with various pre-release versions of 3.5, though, I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m convinced that The Little Browser That Could remains the best choice for the widest array of folks. That\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s as much for the virtues that Firefox has possessed for years as for new stuff: Version 3.5\u00e2\u20ac\u00b2 s improvements are about better speed, useful tweaks to existing features, catchup with other browsers, and early support for emerging Web standards. In other words, the browser sports no knockout new features. But the moves Mozilla has made are smart, and they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re more than enough for Firefox to keep pace with its fast-evolving rivals.<\/p>\n<p>After the jump, a look at what\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s new in rough order of importance.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/technologizer.com\/2009\/06\/30\/firefox-3-5-review\/\" target=\"_blank\">ARTICLE CONTINUED HERE<\/a><\/p>\n<p>[This post is excerpted with Harry&#8217;s permission from his <a href=\"http:\/\/technologizer.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Technologizer<\/a> blog.]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/techtalk.pcpitstop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/harrywp.jpg\" alt=\"oncomputers\" class=\"attachment wp-att-7167 alignleft\" \/><\/p>\n<p>By Harry McCracken<\/p>\n<p><p>Was it really fewer than five years ago that Firefox 1.0 debuted?
