The beta cycle for Firefox version 3.5 is over and it has now been
officially released.  You can download it from www.getfirefox.com.  It
works well with NVDA and Window-Eyes.  I haven't tested it with other
screen readers.  Here are some of the changes in this version:

Available in more than 70 languages.
Support for the HTML5 <video> and <audio> elements including
native support for Ogg Theora encoded video and Vorbis
encoded audio.
Improved tools for controlling your private data, including a
Private Browsing Mode
Better web application performance using the new
TraceMonkey JavaScript engine.
The ability to share your location with websites using
Location Aware Browsing
Support for native JSON, and web worker threads
.Improvements to the Gecko layout engine, including speculative parsing for faster
content rendering.
Support for new web technologies such as: downloadable fonts, CSS media queries,
new transformations and properties, JavaScript query selectors, HTML5 local storage
and offline application storage, <canvas> text, ICC profiles, and SVG transforms.
