Boasting a performance boost thanks to some tweaking of its rendering engine, Firefox 3.6 is now available as a beta release. Hopefully, we'll see snappier response from the browser. There's also support for Windows 7 Aero Peek tab previews, so that it's easier to navigate the Firefox tabs and windows.
Wired - Mozilla has unleashed the first beta release of Firefox 3.6, the next version of the popular open-source browser.
On the surface, it looks like incremental performance upgrade from the current version, Firefox 3.5, which was released in June. But anyone spending a great deal of time in JavaScript-heavy web apps — which these days is most of us — will notice faster page loads thanks to improvements to the browser’s rendering engine. This new beta also has better support for the latest emerging web standards like HTML5 and CSS3, better native video playback, a new plugin updating mechanism and some new tab behaviors.
Get a copy of the beta here. You can read more about it, including some tips and tricks here.
