    CSS3's calc() coming to Firefox 4 or so

    Lots of juicy potential in this one, but as Adam Singer notes, it’s highly reliant on cross-browser implementation.

    Browser Market Share Visualization

    Great circular visualization. As for the numbers themselves, they’re from W3Schools.com, which clearly has a standards slant, so take them with that grain of salt.

    What's New in Firefox 3.5

    A great list for those of you using, or thinking about using, HTML5 and CSS3 capabilities. Of particular note:

    • HTML5 support now includes video, audio, and offline storage and resources.
    • CSS support is in line with Safari. FX now supports font linking, promotes -moz-opacity to just opacity, supports text-shadow, word-wrap, and -moz-box-shadow, columns, transforms, and new pseudo-elements.
    • Geolocation API support is baked in. Webapps can now reference the navigator.geolocation object via JS and find the browser’s location. This is a huge step.
    • Native JSON support in the DOM.
    • Cross-site scripting allowances, which helps make some third-party AJAX requests possible. This has been a big argument for years now.

    All in all, this is a really serious release for front-end developers. Since Firefox upgrade adoption is often quite quick, a lot of these will be things which, along with Safari support, you can start using with early-adopter crowds quite soon.
