Mozilla Firefox 3.6 Upcoming Features Include Personas Add-on
Mozilla Firefox 3.6 is on its way probably because Firefox is so buggy (still) that it fails miserably in many aspects every after upgrade. This could be one of the reasons why Firefox updates come so quickly. Mozilla has to address lots of issues regarding stability of the open source browser. Some security issues in the past have been resolved by new ones come up as soon as the others are fixed (See Mozilla Firefox 3.5.4 Update: List of Bug Fixes and Security Issues Addressed). So this is update is indeed a work in progress, a dedication only Mozilla Foundation can show.
Personas Add-on: For Firefox 3.0 upt to 3.6
Firefox 3.6 is slated for release in final form this year though there is no exact release date posted yet, with Firefox 3.7 in the first half of next year and 4.0 about a year from now. One of the major changes to be seen in 3.6 is the Personas add-on. This add-on will let people customize the appearance (look-and-feel) of the browser to their liking and taste. This is purely eye candy and this can be done also with reskinning.
In addition, behind the scene of Firefox 3.6 (but more noticeable) is prioritized networking to speed up multipage restarts of the browser. Tabs behavior will get a significant change that could throw some people off. New tabs generally will appear immediately to the right of the active tab when opened from a link, rather than at the far right of the tab strip.
Mozilla Firefox 3.6 will also support Open Web Font, a font format that supports compression and metadata to let the origins of a typeface be tracked down.
