I just wanted to say that there is still some more work to do with getting
the Firefox manual updated to the 3.5(.2) release of the red panda. Most
notably the fact that there is no mention of the HTML 5 (open video/audio)
or CSS 3 (rounded corners) abilities of the browser, or the ability to tell
a website where you are. (Stuff at:
http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/features/#cutting-edge) But also
important mentions such as downloadable fonts need to be added.

http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/video/?video=whatnew-3.5 - also shows
some of this stuff in video.

Ok, well that's all I wanted to say, I'll be working on it when I get the
chance but encase people didn't know, I wanted to make it aware here.
