Mozilla have made Firefox 3.1 beta 1 available for download.
Be advised though that Firefox 3.1 beta 1 is beta version and mostly will contains bugs and extensions compability. Some of the new features implemented in Firefox 3.1 beta 1 are:
- Web standards improvements in the Gecko layout engine
- Added support for CSS 2.1 and CSS 3 properties
- A new tab-switching shortcut that shows previews of the tab you’re switching to
Improved control over the Smart Location Bar using special characters to restrict your search - Drag and drop tabs from one Firefox window to another.
- Support for new web technologies such as the and elements, the W3C Geo location API, JavaScript query selectors, web worker threads, SVG transforms and offline applications.
Another features worth noticing is that Firefox 3.1 beta 1 scored a respectable 89/100 in acid test. In my previous post on badxp, I wrote about the new privacy features of Firefox 3.1 dubbed the “porn mode“. Interestingly, the new privacy mode are not mentioned in this new beta 1 release of Firefox 3.1 beta 1.
Those interested in trying the beta 1 version of Firefox 3.1 can dowload Firefox 3.1 beta 1 from mozilla download page.
