Default [webmonkey] Firefox 3.1 Alpha Preview Delivers Slick New Features
Quote:
The first 3.1 alpha (code-named Shiretoko) already packs some impressive new features like the new visual tab switcher, which offers previews of pages, and changes the sorting order based on which tab was most recently open. In essence it mimics the behavior of cmd-tab application switchers on most OSes. The visual eye candy is quite nice, but the real benefit is the dynamic ordering, which makes it much easier to quickly jump between recently viewed tabs.
Quote:
The HTML 5 canvas support is a bit more experimental (the W3C spec is still in the draft stages), but Mozilla has rolled it in anyway. If you want get really bleeding edge, the latest Firefox nightly builds also include support for audio and video tags.

Like the Canvas element, the and HTML 5 elements are still in the draft stages, but the idea is to easily embed media without proprietary plugins (like Quicktime, Windows Media, etc). Technically both tags are codec-neutral, but Mozilla has bundled the Ogg Theora and Vorbis codecs giving you the option to deliver audio and video in an open format.

God what was I thinking

I was meant to say, Didn't they just release Firefox 3?

I'm not used to people/developers releasing new stuff/patches so close to the release date.

Oh wow the tab browser is pretty sweet. Just press Ctrl+Tab to switch between them. Kind of reminds me of Compiz Fuzion.
