FireFox 3.1 Beta 2 arrived


Mozilla release a second beta of FireFox 3.1 (my favorite browser).
My favorite update is TraceMonkey. It gives firefox a fast speed that is on a par with Google Chrome. Actually Chrome is very slow in my PC for some reason. I did not figure it out. So I set back to FireFox 3.1 Beta 1. But I always have missed the speed of Chrome.
Now, it is FireFox's turn to speed up with the same technology that is behind the speed of Chrome.

I love Firefox.

Here is some updates list.

  • Added a new Private Browsing Mode.
  • Added functions to make it easy to clear recent history by time as well as remove all traces of a website.
  • New support for web worker threads.
  • The new TraceMonkey JavaScript engine is on by default for web content.
  • Improvements to the Gecko layout engine, including speculative parsing for faster content rendering.
  • Removed the new tab-switching behavior based on feedback from user
  • support for new web technologies such as the <video> and <audio> elements, the W3C Geolocation API, JavaScript query selectors, CSS 2.1 and 3 properties, SVG transforms and offline applications.
Please look at here fore more detail and download
