  • spoofer56, on 06/30/2009, -11/+577Private Browsing Mode means Porn Mode, right?
  • shaunj66, on 06/30/2009, -47/+490HI, BILLY MAYS HERE WITH ANOTHER FANTASTIC PRODUCT!

  • witort, on 06/30/2009, -3/+148I guess the guy who implemented this is left handed
  • Snipz, on 06/30/2009, -4/+140It's scaring me how fast this is.
  • RainStreet, on 06/30/2009, -5/+139/cry

  • TnTBass, on 06/30/2009, -1/+116I love the speed improvements. Good Job Team.
  • O8SERVER, on 06/30/2009, -7/+104BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE!
  • Snipz, on 06/30/2009, -6/+101Come back its much faster. We miss you.
  • toonworld, on 06/30/2009, -3/+88not to be confused with the news network, of course
  • krisrm, on 06/30/2009, -0/+83Well... it's "perfect for online holiday shopping!"

    In other words, yep.
  • krisrm, on 06/30/2009, -4/+84WTF guys? What's with all this "respecting each other's opinion"? I thought that was strictly against the terms of use...

    I think everyone should give their nearest family member/pet a hug, then move along and pretend this never happened.

    /s
  • Macskeeball, on 06/30/2009, -4/+83CALL NOW AND WE'LL INCLUDE NOT ONE, NOT TWO, BUT THREE AMAZING ADD-ONS, ABSOLUTELY FREE!
  • trib4lmaniac, on 06/30/2009, -1/+75Here's a developer-oriented list of what's new in this release: https://developer.mozilla.org/En/Firefox_3.5_for_d ...
    My personal favourites are the selectors API, downloadable fonts and HTML5 localStorage.
  • souravondigg, on 06/30/2009, -12/+85Everything is great except no separate process for tabs. I hope that comes with FF 4.
  • Macskeeball, on 06/30/2009, -3/+73Someone needs to fire Fox.
  • cyoder, on 06/30/2009, -1/+69"It can't be that hard."

    It gets that way once you're in Porn Mode.
  • boozedrinker, on 06/30/2009, -1/+66Did they get another cake from the *jealous* IE Team?
  • questro, on 06/30/2009, -1/+54I think the web just got an upgrade! Native Ogg Vorbis audio and Ogg Theora video! This rocks!
  • MAGZine, on 06/30/2009, -32/+84I disagree, I used to think so, but I switched to Chrome instead. Each to his own.
  • sirjoebob, on 06/30/2009, -8/+57dugg for to each his own.

    the web is a tool. it's use is up to the user. both chrome and FF present the user with awesome options (spped vs flexibility). Hell, even IE8 is a decent browser for a change. Good choices allow end users the best path to web happiness. Use what works and don't hate.

    STFU ABOUT MEGAN FOX ALREADY





  • homercles337, on 06/30/2009, -2/+46I like Chrome--conceptually. However, until their add-ons mature im sticking with firefox. Also, its "To each his own."
  • souravondigg, on 06/30/2009, -2/+44They already got one. I think one more will come for FF 4.0
  • jasdf, on 06/30/2009, -2/+43Who could have possibly dugg you up?
  • J0hnnyBlaze, on 06/30/2009, -2/+42does the p stand for porn?
  • kamel, on 06/30/2009, -7/+46Megan?
  • J0hnnyBlaze, on 06/30/2009, -2/+39also crime research mode.
  • angelgabe, on 06/30/2009, -9/+45What, no world record certificate this time? :-(
  • ImTheDuke, on 06/30/2009, -7/+42I really like Firefox. Nothing against it but I'm using Chrome as well. Seems like the fastest browser out there right now. I'm also a little biased because I like Google stuff.
  • javiero, on 06/30/2009, -2/+36"Except", the word you were looking for was "except"
  • inactive, on 06/30/2009, -6/+37That was gay.
  • kilimangaro, on 06/30/2009, -5/+33For firebug, you will need to install version 1.4beta http://getfirebug.com/releases/index.html
  • screwzluse, on 06/30/2009, -0/+27When you update and check compatibility, it'll find the 1.4 beta. Shouldn't be a problem at all.
  • Seanathan, on 06/30/2009, -0/+25+1 for downloadable fonts. Definitely a useful feature.
  • AndrewMoyer, on 06/30/2009, -0/+25I think the main reason I use Firefox instead of any other browser is because of the plugins. Forecast Fox Enhanced makes planning around weather a no-brainer, Adblock makes surfing the web less annoying, and Google Preview is a great upgrade to vanilla Google.

    Not to mention, it's pretty fast and feels light-weight.
  • MrSlumberjack, on 06/30/2009, -5/+30RIP Billy. Am I the only one who was more upset by his death than Michael Jackson's or Farah Fawcett's? I really did envy that beard.
  • Snipz, on 06/30/2009, -0/+24you can go to the help menu and hit update it worked for me
  • keviniskool, on 06/30/2009, -0/+24Hey, since this is all open source and stuff, can someone modify it to say Porn Mode instead? It can't be that hard.
  • Mutt76, on 06/30/2009, -0/+2293/100
  • WordFlyer, on 06/30/2009, -4/+25is it faster than Chrome now? I had made the switch to Chrome, but I'm willing to come back if it's better.
  • MrDoug, on 06/30/2009, -8/+29Dugg for Porn Mode.
  • cyoder, on 06/30/2009, -3/+23And it offers to save your current session, so you can go back to it after porn- er, private browsing. Nice!

    Man, I would let Mozilla devs take advantage of me, if they wished.
  • jimi1337, on 06/30/2009, -0/+20Not if your right hand is already busy...
  • Dreeon, on 06/30/2009, -3/+23I see what you did there...

    It was pretty dumb though.
