Firefox 3.6 Beta is built on Mozilla's Gecko 1.9.2 web rendering platform, which has been under development for several months and contains many improvements for web developers, Add-on developers and users. This version is also faster and more responsive than previous versions, and has been optimized to run on small device operating systems such as Windows CE and Maemo.

* Changes to how we allow third party software to integrate with Firefox in order to prevent crashes.
* The ability to run scripts asynchronously to speed up page load times.
* More than 140 bug fixes from the last beta to improve performance, stability, security and features.
* This beta is available in more than 60 languages - get your local version.
* Users can now change their browser's appearance with a single click, with built in support for Personas.
* Firefox 3.6 will alert users about out of date plugins to keep them safe.
* Open, native video can now be displayed full screen, and supports poster frames.
* Support for the WOFF font format.
* Improved JavaScript performance, overall browser responsiveness and startup time.
* Support for new CSS, DOM and HTML5 web technologies.
Mozilla

Other than starting slightly faster I see no difference... what happened to that aero like Firefox they were talking about

I like what I'm seeing. To answer your question, the Aero-integrated Firefox theming is scheduled for Firefox 4, I believe. There is something about it in 3.7, but I'm pretty sure release is pointing to 4.

EDIT: Here's a link to the Firefox 4 Aero info: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox/4.0..._Theme_Mockups

I don't really understand either why the Aeroness is taking so long to implement. There are several add-ons which can Aerofy Firefox. If developers can produce the add-ons and release them for free then why can't Mozilla speed up a bit?

Why do I feel Mozilla is turning into EA and BF2 patches?

Fixes 20 bugs, makes 40 more?

It was a example of how EA put out 1.41 and it fixed some things and caused some other issues.

I don't exactly recall what 1.41 did and didn't, but I'm assuming you know how to google BF2 1.41 change log.

They didn't remove anything, only disabled a few things. If you want to re-enable them you can just google it.

And I'm liking what Firefox 3.6 is bringing to the table, can't wait for the final release
