Mozilla has announced a near-ready version of Firefox 3.6 suggesting that the final version will be launched in the near future. 75 per cent of the Firefox Add-ons had now been upgrated to be compatible with the Release Candidate version of Firefox 3.6. The RC is built on the org’s Gecko 1.9.2 platform and has over 100 bug fixes, Mozilla saying that the RC “may update itself periodically, and will eventually be exactly the same as the final Firefox 3.6 release itself”.

Mozzila is coming with a new feature called Personas that allows users to change Firefox’s appearence very easy and fast, but more interestingly, Mozilla emphasized the browser’s security even more. More features and updates has been added to Firefox like improved JavaScript performance, support for HTML 5 (HTML 5 File API), DOM web technologies, CSS, WOFF font format, native video,  poster frames and full screen open.

Although Mozilla is trying to improve Firefox as much as possible, it appears that some users have complained that with each new release, the surfing tool gets stuffed with unnecessary updates, that slows the browser.
