Hands-on with Firefox 3.5

When it comes to the latest tech do-dad, you can't beat the adjectives "fast, popular, and free." That's exactly what we've got with Firefox 3.5, which is now available for download. CNET's Seth Rosenblatt takes the new browser for a lengthy test drive and concludes that it's an improvement over the previous version, but many of the new features, such as private browsing, merely play catch-up to the competition. Should you download it? We did mention it's free, so why wait? Read the review then head over to Download.com and get a copy.
