Location aware browsing

If you choose, you may allow Firefox 3.5 to share information about your current location with web sites. Firefox 3.5 can use information about the network you're connected to to share your location. Of course, it asks for your permission before doing so, to ensure your privacy.

Open audio and video support

Firefox 3.5 supports embedded video and audio using the open Ogg format, as well as WAV for audio. No plugins, no confusing error messages about needing to install something or other that turns out not to be available on your platform anyway.

Local data storage

Web applications can now use Web Storage's local storage capabilities to store data on your computer. This is great for anything from site preferences to more complex data.
