Firefox 3.5!

Here are some of the interesting features I like in Firefox 3.5:

'Location Aware Browsing'
Now, Firefox can tell your location to the web site and with that they can offer us some location based services. It was quite difficult for me to get the user's location when I was working on Stat Engine for my blog. Now that Firefox has brought in this feature, I am hoping that others will try to make it soon. If you are a service provider and wanted to get the location information about your users, refer to this.


Support for HTML 5
Firefox 3.5 supports some of the interesting elements of HTML5 like video, audio, etc. Also, it has got a good support for canvas elements and css font-faces. Now, I can improve the VComment tool which I developed for my blog. Attaching a sample video here. You need to have Firefox 3.5 to view this. Remember, this doesn't use any flash player here.
