You may be experimenting a ‘bug’ when you find yourself with very long start up times after upgrading to Firefox 3.5. This may be due to a change in how Firefox 3.5 gets the randomness it needs for security purposes on Windows. It is also because of too many temporary, history or recent document files sitting in your Windows locations that slows down the data generation processes in Firefox 3.5.

Firefox 3.5 looks for more files and sub-folders for increased randomness, but it has led to unexpected results for several users with too many temporary folders or files resulting in slow start ups. The procedure involves scanning some temporary folders where looking for bits normally added by OS and other applications operations are present.

Firefox 3.5 users have reported a noticeable improvement after deleting their temporary folders and  Internet Temporary Files  that are generated by Internet Explorer. Actually, Firefox 3.5 pulls data from certain file locations for randomized security purposes which sometimes can lead to annoying slow start-ups in Windows. You can speed things up by cleaning out certain folder locations in Windows.

The Mozilla Links given below recommends cleaning out these folders to keep the browser working:

C:Documents and Settings*user*Local SettingsHistory
C:Documents and Settings*user*Local SettingsTemporary Internet Files
C:Documents and Settings*user*My Recent Documents
C:Documents and Settings*user*Temp

On Vista or Windows 7 systems setting up Firefox 3.5 to automatically clean out your temporary files after browsing, as explained at the link above, helps prevent the accumulation from building again. However, the users who trade browsing time with Internet Explorer may have to occasionally work this manual method to wipe out those files where they need to replace “Documents and Settings” simply.

Windows only app

The Firefox lovers have no doubt already updated to the recently released Firefox 3.5 for its amazing new features, but if you are more the portable type, Firefox 3.5 Portable Edition is officially available for download.

Firefox 3.5 Portable

The Firefox 3.5 portable version can be downloaded from the web site at PortableApps.com. They are the makers of the popular Portable Apps Suite and brings all the bets features that come with Firefox 3.5 to your pen drive. It is mandatory for a little bit of config tweaking to get your extensions working with Firefox 3.5, but besides that the portable version looks like it’s ready to go along way in adding value to Firedox 3.5.

A new add on theme has been released by Mozilla for Firefox 3.5. It is a clean simple Firefox theme with invisible user interfaces when in use and beautiful design when not.

Mozilla adds that “the theme covers every thing : all built-in toolbar icons, sidebars, Add-ons Manager, Library, Options, Download Manager”, probably inspired by Mac. Rein in German means pure and has been developed by Naoto Kusumi.

Just after release of the search engine stats, Statcounter has released the global stats for the browsers till June 09. The emerging picture is interesting but it does not completely include the Mozilla Firefox 3.5 effect completely.

The good news for Microsoft is that the IE family still rules the roost. Microsoft including IE7, IE6 and IE8 together holds a market share of 54.4%. The interesting aspect is of IE6 which is doggedly holding on to its share of 7.6% even after the advent of IE8. The share of IE7 since the release of IE8 has come down from 49.1% to 30.1%. The percentage of users steadily migrating to IE8 from IE7 makes up for the loss of IE7.

But all is not rosy for Microsoft although it is still the dominant browser. The spate of browser releases – Firefox 3.5, Chrome, Safari together have seen  their share increasing by 11.4%, since March 2009. Nearly half of this increase was of Firefox 3.0. Even if the stats for July 2009 are not counted when Firefox 3.5 was released, Firefox still holds a respectable 27.6% of the market share.

The crucial month for Browser wars will be the month of July when the figures for Firefox 3.5 will begin to assert themselves and the next month will be October 2009 when Windows 7 will be released.

One thing is for sure the predominant position of Microsoft is going to come down with Mozilla Firefox snapping at its heels and Chrome and Safari still have some distance to go if they have to make an impact..

By now you probably know that one of Firefox 3.5 main features is the ability to show video encoded in Theora format natively, that is without the need of a plugin or any other software.

As good as this is, it has no option for showing the video in full screen. But as usual, it didn’t take much time before a extension came to the rescue to provide the necessary feature (in fact it has been available before Firefox 3.5 final).

Full Screen Video, by Dao Gottwald adds an option to video’s context menu to view a video in full screen mode. Right-click, select and watch.

There are a couple of caveats though: the video restarts when switching to full screen but I found it to be a problem much less annoying than I thought it would be. Also, full screen is only achieved on Windows. On other platforms it’s just a maximized window.

And if you don’t like the native video controls or get bored of them, you can customize them as almost everything else, Firefox audio and video controls are customizable (more work for theme authors!).

Long time community member, Ken Saunders, has released some cool skins you can try simply editing your userChrome.css file in your profile folder. Check Ken’s cool video player themes.

“Inspired by the need for larger media player controls that are displayed on the media player for open media (audio and video) now supported by Firefox 3.5 (awesome isn’t it), I created what I call a large, high visibility skin. While it’s true that one can use full page zoom to enlarge the size of a video (now you know), they may not always want to enlarge the whole video so the Hi-Vis-Light skin allows me (and hopefully others) to see the media controls at even small media window sizes including and especially the time and duration labels”.

“After I discovered how easy that it was to edit the videocontrols.css (though very time consuming), I decided to create a few more skins for the media player controls. I have others in the works including more colorful ones and a Hi-Vis Black one, and I’m sure that once it gets out that this is a piece of cake to do (or pie, whatever you prefer), there will be quite a number of new media player control skins being created including by those that will feel the need to create stupid ones that emulates Windows Media Player (etc) which of course goes against the grain of the open media concept itself”.

Mozilla Firefox 3.5 has held its head high in the face of stiff competition in the browser wars. As this news goes on air more than 6 million people have downloaded Firefox 3.5 and the download number is still a healthy average of 25 downloads per second.. Most of the features of Firefox have been covered by us but here is a fresh look at the features of Mozilla Firefox 3.5.

Private Browsing

That the speed of Firefox 3.5 has been greatly enhanced is now common knowledge. The welcome inclusion has been Private Browsing that has at last become c common feature of all the browsers. Unlike the visual indication of other browsers Firefox 3.5 gives you only a crisp message and you can get on with the business of  Firefox 3.5 conveniently forgetting everything when you are in the private Browsing mode. Though applicable when you are not in Private browsing is the feature where you can ask Firefox 3.5 to forget the subdomain of a site in history. This feature in private mode does not make sense anyway as the browser does not remember all the things anyway. To enable this you have to go to “History”, select the site, “Right Click” on it and choose “Forget this site”. A convenient way of removing sites that you don’t fancy any more.

Geo Location Awareness

Many a time application you may be using would want information of your physical location. Firefox 3.5 finds this out by triangulating your position from the surrounding Wi Fi networks and “Google Location Services” using your IP address. To use this facility you should have a WWAN card. The important thing is Firefox 3.5 takes your permission before sending the information. This feature will come in handy when you are at a new place and any information that you seek is location specific for your search engine.

Tabs

You can now drag and drop your tabs to another window, rearrange them and even on to your desktop. A + sign has been provided on the tab bar that makes creation of tabs intuitive. As you drag your mouse .Firefox 3.5 indicates the future location of the tab if you would release the mouse

Restore Previous Session

The restore previous session not only remembers the history but also any text that you may have typed automatically gets saved. You should be conscious of this facility not to let sensitive information fall into wrong hand and it must be used in conjunction with private Browsing if you use facilities outside for your work.

The race for downloading Firefox 3.5 is on.

Firefox holds the World record in Guiness Book for the maximum number of down loads in a day, for its version Firefox 3.0 which touched 8 million.

When last reported on the net it was downloaded 1.3 million times. The down load rate then was hovering between 50 to 100 down loads per second.

Although it has not been announced officially After 24 hrs after its release ( we presume) more than 3 million Firefox 3.5 were down loaded and the rate of down loads was hovering between 40 and 55.

This is by no means a mean achievement considering the competition Fire Fox was facing. For e.g it was publicized that Safari was down loaded by 11 million people in 3 days. This included the users of earlier versions but the interesting fact about Safari was that of the 11 million downloads 6 million were windows based users.

So Mozilla must have had an element of doubt as to its performance. But the way Firefox 3.5 is standing up to competition it should touch 8 -9 million in 3 days.

The verdict seems to be in favor of Firefox that it has not been cowed down by competition and has been able to stand its ground.

The stats for download of Firefox 3.5 are available in real time at the below given site and Mozilla is asking its users to ping so that it can come out with the exact statistics.
