New In Firefox 3.5
Firefox 3.5 makes surfing the Web easier and more enjoyable with exciting new features and platform updates that allow Web developers to create the next generation of Web content. Native support for open video and audio, private browsing, and support for the newest Web technologies will enable richer, more interactive online experiences.
Performance. Firefox 3.5 includes the powerful new TraceMonkey JavaScript engine, which delivers unprecedented performance with today’s complex Web applications. Firefox 3.5 is more than two times faster than Firefox 3 and ten times faster than Firefox 2.
Open Video and Audio. Enjoy video and audio content from within your browser, without the need for plugins. Video is a vital part of the modern Web, whether it’s used to communicate, educate, or entertain. Firefox 3.5 delivers the first native integration of audio and video directly into the browser. Now everyone can easily watch open format Ogg Theora videos.
Web developers can use these technologies to design pages that interact with video content in new and exciting ways, offering richer interactive experiences beyond controlling playback and volume.
Privacy Controls. Firefox 3.5 includes features designed to protect your privacy online and provide greater control over your personal data.
While using the new Private Browsing mode in Firefox 3.5, nothing you encounter on the Web will be stored from that moment on during your browsing session. Unique to Firefox 3.5, the new Forget this Site feature can remove every trace of a site from your browser. If you want to remove all private data or activity from the past few hours, Clear Recent History, another Firefox-only feature, gives you full control over what stays and what goes.
Location Aware Browsing. Location Aware Browsing saves you time by allowing websites to ask you where you are located. If you choose to share your location with a website, it can use that information to find nearby points of interest and return additional, useful data like maps of your area. It’s all optional – Firefox doesn’t share your location without your permission.
New in This Release
In this release, Firefox has been updated to 3.5.6 (release notes).
Auto-Update Issue
If you allow Mozilla Firefox, Portable Edition to auto-update, some non-personal files may remain on the local PC. This will be addressed in a later release.
PortableApps.com Installer / PortableApps.com Format
Mozilla Firefox, Portable Edition is packaged in a PortableApps.com Installer so it will automatically detect an existing PortableApps.com installation when your drive is plugged in. And it's in PortableApps.com Format, so it automatically works with the PortableApps.com Suite including the Menu and Backup Utility.
Download
Mozilla Firefox, Portable Edition is available for immediate download from the Mozilla Firefox, Portable Edition homepage. You can get the German release from the German homepage and the other localized releases from the Localization page. Get it today!

Do you plan to release the 3.0.16 legacy Firefox version as well?
nope.

Just wondering
Just wondering, I thought the FF auto-update thing works OK now? There was a forum thread about that, and I'm pretty sure the conclusion was that auto-update worked...
Thanks for the update!
nope
i think it doesnt work. Otherwise john wouldnt have posted it the way he did. According to the bugtracker, it will be fixed in FF 3.6.
Oh, I see. Thanks! *hoping
Oh, I see. Thanks!
*hoping FF 3.6 will come out soon*
Fixed already
John said explicitly to me that it has been fixed already. I think he just did copy and paste from the old entry and forgot to remove it.
Auto uptade is worked.
Auto update via portable is okay and working.
hi
thanks to the great work
I used the old edition it was fin
except one thing >> watching the video that run from the media player
even i install the plugn of media player it dose not work and ask me to download it again ?
on the other hand, normal Firefox that i install from it web site (not portable ) work fine with the media player plugn ?
my regrades
Is there something wrong with the download?
I tried multiple mirrors and downloaded the files many times to make sure I wasn't doing anything wrong but everytime I tried to run the 3.5.6 file it failed saying that "Installer integrity check has failed".
Is there something wrong with that file in general?
The 3.6 beta 5 file works fine just not the 3.5.6 version.
