Mozilla has announced the arrival of Firefox 3.6 Beta 1 for download, introducing several new features to the web browser.
Although the majority of the tweaks are minor, Mozilla has made improvements which will make web developers, add-on developers and users happy.
While Mozilla wants you all to have a play with the Beta, it does note that "this release is considered to be stable [but] it's not a fully completed product so there may be some rough edges visually and with the user experience."
Changes
The list of changes is as follows:
- Users can now change their browser's appearance with a single click, with built in support for Personas
- Firefox 3.6 will alert users about out-of-date plug-ins to keep them safe
- Open, native video can now be displayed full screen, and supports poster frames
- Support for the WOFF font format
- Improved JavaScript performance, overall browser responsiveness and start-up time
- Support for new CSS, DOM and HTML5 web technologies
For more details, point your (presumably Firefox) browser to the Mozilla Blog.
