Firefox 3.6 Free Download Available and the New Firefox Browser is Faster!

What a big sweet surprise, the Mozilla geeks has came out with the new improved concoction of Firefox. As of January 21, 2010, citizens of planet earth can now download the Firefox 3.6 from Mozilla’s home page. I am impressed that after only 6 months since the release of version 3.5, we get a new spunky Firefox 3.6 version which we have anticipated as early as November 2009 (see Mozilla Firefox 3.6 Upcoming Features Include Personas Add-on).

I must confess, for the last 2 months I have been using Google Chrome most of the time since I found it faster than Firefox 3.5. I can run 15 tabs easy on Chrome compared with Firefox which can prove sluggish when more than 12 tabs are opened. Now that is going to change. I am defecting back to Firefox 3.6!

Today’s version release has a noticeably huge increase in performance speed. I tested it myself and I can proudly say it is as fast as Google Chrome 3.0.195.38. Perhaps Chrome is faster by a few milliseconds but it is insignificant. Firefox 3.6 comes with new features under the hood. The new UI sure looks better than the old one but Firefox version 3.6 has more to offer. For some of the more important new features in this release, read the summary of highlights after the jump.

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 up to 3.6

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.
