Firefox 3.6 Beta 1 Expected for Next Week
Mozilla team it’s working really hard on another release, the 3.6. And they are expecting to make public the first Beta on October 13, according to The Register. But the date it is just an estimative, so don’t be surprised if they postpone it for a few days more.
We’ve been talking about the incoming versions of Firefox, especially Firefox 3.7. And using some official statements from Mozilla, the main idea of that version is to remove the menu bar and introduce a very similar look-n-feel of the Office 2007/2010 ribbon (but later, other statements tried to dismiss this article by saying that they are not considering a ribbon, just hiding the menu bar).

On the other hand Firefox 3.6 seems that is only going to take minor tweaks, here are some of them:
- Lightweight themes
- Improvements in TraceMonkey JavaScript engine
- Optimized session restore feature.
- Enhanced page rendering.
- New additions for CSS.
