Mozilla Firefox 3.6.13
Mozilla Firefox project is a redesign of Mozilla's browser component, written using the XUL user interface language and designed to be cross-platform.
Firefoxefox browser is a fast, small and very easy to use browser that offers many advantages over other web browsers, such as the ability to block pop-up windows and the tabbed browsing experience.
Here are some key features of "Mozilla Firefox":
· comprehensive popup controls to keep unwanted advertising off your desktop;
· a tab browsing mode that lets you open several pages in a single window, allowing you to load links in the background without leaving the page you're on;
· integrated search (powered by ******);
· industry leading accessibility with Find As You Type - find links and page text by simply typing;
· simplified privacy controls that let you cover your tracks more effectively;
· a streamlined browser window that lets you see more of the page than any other browser while at the same time being more configurable;
· a large variety of free downloadable extensions and themes that add specific functionality and visual changes to the browser.
What's New in This Release:
· Fixed a stability issue affecting Windows users.
· Fixed an issue causing rendering errors with plugins
· affecting Mac OS X users. See the complete changelist from the previous beta.
· Support for HSTS security protocol allowing sites to insist that they only be loaded over SSL.
· Firefox Sync is now included by default.
· A new feature gives users a visual overview of all open tabs, allowing them to be sorted and grouped.
· An experimental API is included to provide more efficient Javascript animations.
· Firefox now supports the HTML5 video "buffered" property.
· Tabs are now on top by default on Windows and OSX - Linux will be changing when the theme has been modified to support the change.
· You can turn any tab into an "App Tab" by right-clicking on it and selecting "Make into App Tab" from the context menu.
· Web developers can animate content using CSS Transitions.
· Responsiveness and scrolling improvements from the new retained layers layout system.
· JavaScript speed improvements due to engine optimizations.
· Changes to how XPCOM components are registered in order to help startup time and process separation.
· You can search for and switch to already open tabs in the Smart Location Bar.
· New Addons Manager and extension management API (UI will be changed before final release).
· Significant API improvements are available for JS-ctypes, a foreign function interface for extensions.
· The stop and reload buttons have been merged into a single button on Windows, Mac and Linux.
· The Bookmarks Toolbar has been replaced with a Bookmarks Button by default (you can switch it back if you'd like).
· Crash protection for Windows, Linux, and Mac when there is a crash in the Adobe Flash, Apple Quicktime or Microsoft Silverlight plugins.
· CSS Transitions are partially supported.
· Full WebGL support is included but disabled by default at this time.
· Core Animation rendering model for plugins on Mac OS X. Plugins which also support this rendering model can now draw faster and more efficiently.
· Native support for the HD HTML5 WebM video format.
· An experimental Direct2D rendering backend is available on Windows, turned off by default.
· Web developers can use Websockets for a low complexity, low latency, bidirectional communications API.
· Web developers can update the URL field without reloading the page using HTML History APIs.
· More responsive page rendering using lazy frame construction.
· Link history lookup is done asynchronously to provide better responsiveness during pageload.
· CSS :visited selectors have been changed to block websites from being able to check a user's browsing history.
· New HTML5 parser.
· Support for more HTML5 form controls.
· Web authors can now get touch events from Firefox users on Windows 7 machines.
· A new way of representing values in JavaScript that allows Firefox to execute heavy, numeric code (used for things like graphics and animations) more efficiently.
