So last week Mozilla released FireFox 3.5, which introduces some awesome new features, all of which can be found on the Mozilla release notes page.

The ones I’m most excited about are the newly supported CSS properties, improved JavaScript capabilities (through TraceMonkey), SVG features, and HTML 5 support.

Now we can do things like use downloadable fonts (goodbye sIFR!), specify border images, achieve amazing shadow and border effects, use the CANVAS tag, and it looks like they even included cross-domain XMLHTTPRequests.

How practical all this will become only time can tell. We know other browsers are including like features, so we can only hope developers will keep visitors and security in mind as they build applications.
