Firefox 3.6 Beta 1 doesn't know about:me, but it's fast

,----[ Quote ]
| The first official Mozilla Firefox 3.6 Beta
| release is now available, bringing with it
| a whole bunch of improvements to the open
| source web browser. It's also (to my naked
| eye) missing a few features that I had
| initially expected to see in Firefox 3.6.

Firefox 3.6 Tweaks Are Mostly Under the Hood

,----[ Quote ]
| "One of the defining characteristics of the
| Chrome experience is speed," O'Grady
| explained, and "the Mozilla folks have done
| a good job of responding to that, both in
| Firefox 3.5 and 3.6," he said. "Both
| versions are noticeably quicker."
|
| Indeed, even Firefox 3.5 is more than twice
| as fast as Firefox 3, Mozilla says, and 10
| times as fast as Firefox 2.
|
| Mozilla has also been continuing to build
| out user enhancements, O'Grady added,
| "ranging from the aesthetic -- such as
| personas, where you can reskin the user
| interface -- to the more subtle, but
| potentially more significant."
|
| As an example of the latter, O'Grady cites
| the Ubiquity plug-in, which is integrated
| in the new release and makes the browser
| "more programmatically accessible," he
| explained.

Firefox 3.6 beta promises speed injection

| Mozilla pushed out a first beta version of
| Firefox 3.6 on Friday, ahead of a planned
| release by the end of the year.

| The delayed release promises improved
| JavaScript performance and faster load-up,
| addressing a sluggish start problem that
| has become an issue with recent builds of
| the open source browser. Firefox 3.6 will
| also be easier to customise as well as
| introducing the ability to natively display
| video in a full screen display.

Mozilla's messaging story gains credibility

| personal computers, replacing IBM Lotus
| Notes and Microsoft Outlook.
