Mozilla is constantly improving its popular browser Firefox and has now released the first beta of the highly anticipated Firefox 3.0. Mozilla has made the browser available for download in several languages and the first previews have already been published. Over at Ars Technica they’ve taken a closer look at Firefox 3.0 Beta 1 and they seem quite pleased with what Mozilla has accomplished so far. Unlike previous version steps, Firefox 3.0 actually has a lot of new features and functions. One of the most obvious being the new and much faster web rendering engine Gecko 1.9.
“Now that we are in the beta cycle we can expect to see the reliability of the new features improve rapidly as the focus shifts towards testing and quality assurance. Despite delays and other setbacks, Firefox 3 is shaping up to be an outstanding web browser that delivers innovative new technologies while retaining Firefox’s signature ease of use.”
The preview can be found over at Ars Technica and Firefox 3.0b1 can be downloaded from Mozilla.
