Firefox 3.0.9 Fixes Bugs, Not Much Else

By Scott Loganbill April 21, 2009 Categories: Software & Tools

An upgrade to Firefox 3 is available late Tuesday from the getfirefox.com website. Firefox 3.0.9 fixes some security and stability bugs.

Not much else to report on Firefox 3.

The next version of Firefox, version 3.5 (formerly 3.1), is a far more exciting release. It is currently in its third beta. A fourth beta is expected later this week or next, depending on the results of a wave of testing being held on April 24th. Firefox 3.5 contains speed upgrades to its JavaScript engine, nicknamed Tracemonkey, and some enhancements to tab management and private browsing. It is expected sometime this summer, after at least two upcoming release candidates.
