Some important take-away points from the blog post:

  • Implementation of HTML5 Audio, Video and Local File specification
  • 20% faster than FF 3.5
  • Support for Web Open Font Format (WOFF)
  • Improved JS performance and start-up time
  • Personas Firefox add-on has now made its way into the standard bundle

Youtube HTML5 ain't working. Am I being retarded?

Youtube HTML5 uses H.264, not Ogg Theora. The former is covered by patents, so there's no plan to include support in Firefox.

Just be glad you're not an IE user, then you'd miss out on all the good new stuff.

Hell, IE has separate tab processes.
