Today, however, Mozilla has issued a more general release, as the new version will not only be <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mozilla.com\/firefox\/all-rc.html\">available for download <\/a>but also part of an automatic update for those already running Firefox. The release is one more sign that we&#8217;re getting closer by the day to a full-on sparkly new version of Firefox.<\/p>\n<p>For those of you worried about updating, Mozilla has assured us that &#8220;over 75% of the thousands of Firefox Add-ons have now been upgraded by their authors to be compatible with Firefox 3.6,&#8221; so go ahead and take that leap. But what will you find on the other side?<\/p>\n<p align=\"right\"><em>Sponsor<\/em><br \/><a href='http:\/\/d.ads.readwriteweb.com\/ck.php?n=a6d5ead9&amp;cb=17707' ><img src='http:\/\/d.ads.readwriteweb.com\/avw.php?zoneid=14&amp;cb=17707&amp;n=a6d5ead9' border='0' alt='' \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Firefox 3.6 RC1 Features<\/h2>\n<p>In addition to offering this release as an automatic update, Mozilla has offered a synopsis of what it sees as the most important new features to be found in what the company hopes to be a near-final version.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Users can change the browser&#8217;s appearance with a single click using <a href=\"http:\/\/www.getpersonas.com\/\">Personas<\/a>.\n<li>To keep users safe, Firefox 3.6 <a href=\"http:\/\/theunfocused.net\/2009\/10\/06\/firefox-3-6-knows-when-your-plugins-are-out-of-date\/\">alerts them about out-of-date plugins<\/a> .\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/developer.mozilla.org\/devnews\/index.php\/2009\/11\/16\/component-directory-lockdown-new-in-firefox-3-6\/\">Changes how third-party software integrates with Firefox<\/a> to increase stability.\n<li>Improved automatic form-fill provides better options from your form history.\n<li>Open, native video can now be displayed <a href=\"http:\/\/mozillalinks.org\/wp\/2009\/10\/firefox-3-6-gets-full-screen-native-video\/\">full screen<\/a>, and supports <a href=\"https:\/\/developer.mozilla.org\/En\/HTML\/Element\/Video\">poster frames<\/a>.\n<li>Support for the <a href=\"http:\/\/hacks.mozilla.org\/2009\/10\/woff\/\">WOFF font format<\/a>.\n<li>Improved JavaScript performance, overall browser responsiveness and startup time.\n<li>The ability to <a href=\"https:\/\/bugzilla.mozilla.org\/show_bug.cgi?id=503481\">run scripts asynchronously<\/a> to speed up page-load times.\n<li>Support for the <a href=\"https:\/\/developer.mozilla.org\/en\/Using_files_from_web_applications\">HTML5 File API<\/a>\n<li>Support for new CSS, DOM and HTML5 web technologies.<\/ul>\n<p>While wallpapering Firefox with the latest blockbuster movie may be an attractive addition, we are looking forward to a faster and more stable Firefox. Loading scripts asynchronously should speed up some page-load times dramatically by letting faster scripts run while slower ones continue to do their work in the background &#8211; something our computers have been doing for a long time now. And the changes to third-party software integration should offer a huge boost to the browser&#8217;s stability by keeping the core components of the browser safe from being modified. <\/p>\n<p>For the Web developers out there, increased support for CSS, DOM and HTML5 is always a welcome addition, and the addition of the WOFF font format may further help page-load times and give designers a greater range of choices.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.readwriteweb.com\/archives\/new_firefox_releaseone_last_time.php#comments-open\">Discuss<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~at\/7apomnqX2dAmuFgMVkk05mhFq0M\/0\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~at\/7apomnqX2dAmuFgMVkk05mhFq0M\/0\/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"><\/img><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~at\/7apomnqX2dAmuFgMVkk05mhFq0M\/1\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~at\/7apomnqX2dAmuFgMVkk05mhFq0M\/1\/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"><\/img><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/readwriteweb?a=-H8raynleys:YroE4cW0JCc:FFnlKYwJmN0\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/readwriteweb?d=FFnlKYwJmN0\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/readwriteweb?a=-H8raynleys:YroE4cW0JCc:Ij26kaj3iuU\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/readwriteweb?d=Ij26kaj3iuU\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/readwriteweb?a=-H8raynleys:YroE4cW0JCc:C2pbw5bZMiI\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/readwriteweb?d=C2pbw5bZMiI\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/readwriteweb?a=-H8raynleys:YroE4cW0JCc:yIl2AUoC8zA\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/readwriteweb?d=yIl2AUoC8zA\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/readwriteweb?a=-H8raynleys:YroE4cW0JCc:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/readwriteweb?i=-H8raynleys:YroE4cW0JCc:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/readwriteweb?a=-H8raynleys:YroE4cW0JCc:gIN9vFwOqvQ\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/readwriteweb?i=-H8raynleys:YroE4cW0JCc:gIN9vFwOqvQ\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/readwriteweb?a=-H8raynleys:YroE4cW0JCc:F7zBnMyn0Lo\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/readwriteweb?i=-H8raynleys:YroE4cW0JCc:F7zBnMyn0Lo\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/readwriteweb?a=-H8raynleys:YroE4cW0JCc:OqabYuBsmOY\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/readwriteweb?d=OqabYuBsmOY\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~r\/readwriteweb\/~4\/-H8raynleys\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As we reported last week, Firefox&#8217;s latest version of 3.6 Release Candidate 1, has been released to the general public.
