Firefox 3.5 is out

The latest version of Firefox is out, and it’s faster than ever — or so they say.

According to Mozilla’s test results, Firefox can load Javascript-laden websites in mere milliseconds. This is a good thing, because an increasing number of sites use applications based on Javascript in one way or another. Think of all those sites that let you share documents, edit photos or backup your files.

Other features include anti-phishing and anti-malware technologies for better security, thousands of add-ons for customization, and enhancements to private browsing.

I’m a confirmed Safari browser, but I’ll be taking the latest Firefox out for a spin over the next few days to see how it compares.
