Mozilla Firefox 3.6 Early Beta

Even though all the rumors said that we were going to have an official beta of Firefox 3.6, as we’ve discussed earlier, Mozilla will be releasing a 3.6 build, but as an early beta.

This “test build”, that should contain several bugs, will be a small preview of the real 3.6 beta that will be available to the public on October 21st (yes, one day before Windows 7 official release to the public). To take a nice preview of what’s coming in 3.6, you can access Mozilla FTP and download the build.

As we’ve said earlier, Firefox 3.6 (codename Namoroka) won’t bring us big changes, the features that you’ll find here:

  • Lightweight themes with Vista-like interface.
  • Improvements in TraceMonkey JavaScript engine
  • Bookmark synchronization
  • Optimized session restore feature.
  • Enhanced page rendering.
  • New additions for CSS.
  • Previews of tabs

We’ll have to wait for 3.7 to expect major differences.
