- Update to 3.6
What's new in Firefox 3.6: * Support for the HTML5 File API * A change to how third-party software integrates with Firefox to increase stability. * The ability to run scripts asynchronously to speed up page load times. * A mechanism to prevent incompatible software from crashing Firefox. * Users can now change their browser's appearance with a single click, with built in support for Personas. * Firefox 3.6 will alert users about out of date plugins to keep them safe. * Open, native video can now be displayed full screen, and supports poster frames. * Support for the WOFF font format. * Improved JavaScript performance, overall browser responsiveness and startup time. * Support for new CSS, DOM and HTML5 web technologies. Thanks to: Andreas Tobler, Florian Smeets, nox@, miwi@ and all testers

+ AUTHOR: beat@FreeBSD.org
+
+ The www/firefox port has been updated to 3.6. From now on www/firefox
+ will contain the most recent version of Firefox. Older but still supported
+ releases will be available in www/firefox3 or www/firefox35.
+
+ In order to update to Firefox 3.6 please delete your older installed
+ version of Firefox first and install www/firefox afterwards. Please make
+ sure all your addons are compatible with Firefox 3.6 and backup your
+ $HOME/.mozilla directory prior to the first launch of Firefox 3.6.
+
+ The Java plugin will not work with Firefox 3.6. If you need Java in your
+ browser, please use www/firefox35 instead.
