Firefox 3.5 is live!

On schedule, the Mozilla organization has now officially released its Firefox 3.5 Web browser to the general public, containing the first stable version of its TraceMonkey JavaScript engine. Since Firefox is essentially a JavaScript app in and of itself, the overall performance of the browser on all platforms we've seen should be visibly, and in some cases dramatically, improved over Firefox 3.0.

Naturally, Betanews is beginning its first round of performance tests on the final build of 3.5, especially to see whether that last boost of speed we saw in the final private preview builds was integrated into the final product. We'll let you know what we find out later today.
