When is the Firefox 3.5 release date?  Today!

Mozilla is set to release Firefox 3.5 some time Tuesday morning.

“The Mozilla team is mobilizing to ship Firefox 3.5 and it’s looking like Tuesday morning,” a Mozilla spokeswoman has said.

Tuesday’s unveiling will come after several Firefox 3.5 release candidates within the past three weeks.

The first RC was released in mid-June to approximately 800,000 beta users.  The June 22 RC2 then utilized feedback from the RC1 test, as did the final RC3 on June 25.

Firefox 3.5 will feature a private browsing mode, faster JavaScript engine known as TraceMonkey, new location services, and support for several new HTML 5 features.

HTML 5 support will allow the browser to natively play video encoded in the open source Ogg Theora format and Ogg Vorbis audio, which provides for manipulation and editing of video without the use of an external program.

Download Firefox 3.5 here, once it is released.
