Firefox 3.5 supports HTML5 <video> and <audio> elements, and can play Theora video and Vorbis audio without the need for plug-ins.
HTML 5 local storage and offline application storage is also supported (useful for web applications), along with other web technologies such as downloadable fonts (web pages may be displayed in the fonts the designer intended even if they're not installed on your computer), colour correction of images with colour profiles (photos are more likely to appear onscreen in their original colours),
Firefox is now internationalised for more than 70 languages, although several - Bangladeshi Bengali, Kazakh, Malayalam, Mongolian, Oriya, Romansh, Chilean Spanish, Mexican Spanish, Tamil, Sri Lankan Tamil, and Turkish - are still in beta.
Firefox 3.5 is available for Windows (2000, XP, Server 2003 or Vista), Mac OS X (10.4 or later), and Linux (various prerequisites).
