Updated Firefox 3.1 browser from Mozilla
The second most used web browser “Mozilla Firefox” has launched its latest third generation 3.1 beta released on Thursday, though, this release was scheduled to launch on December 2008. However, the reason for the holdups were some bugs like the Javascript engine Tracemonkey and several others, which have been fixed in the final release.
According to the Mozilla’s blog Firefox 3.1 beta 3 promises improvements to maintain its user’s privacy and browsing modes like the forget this site function in the history bar, its improved geko layout engine and improved support to video and audio functions, JavaScript query selectors, CSS 2.1 and 3 properties and a lot of other improvements.
Now with this release if you think this is final but as per with Mozilla it was also said that very soon this Firefox 3.1 will be a matter of past, as with in a short span ot time you will find its new relese Firefox 3.5. It is just matter of time to see how much this new version will be differ from its original 10 month old Firefox 3.0.
The Mozilla’s Firefox director, Mike Beltzer however said (about the release) “The increase in version number is proposed due to the sheer volume of work which makes Shiretoko feel like much more than a small, incremental improvement over Firefox 3, Bugs will be filled to ensure that systems like addons.mozilla.org, bugzilla.mozilla.org, tinderbox.mozilla.org and crash-stats.mozilla.org will continue to work with minimal disruption, and we will coordinate with those systems’ administrators to coordinate the work”
