This will soon be renamed to Firefox 3.5 as there are a substantial amount of under the hood changes.
Biggest addition in this release is Private Browsing and Tracemonkey is now enabled by default which dramatically speeds up browsing on javascript based sites. Private browsing allows you to surf sites with no information or cookies etc being saved, you can even right click a bookmarked site and tell Firefox to forget about it forever and it will never remember passwords etc. Oh and you can now multi-tag bookmarks.
Also you can thank me from stopping them from shipping with broken aero animation as I bugged them to hell and back to fix it.
