Mozilla Introduces Firefox 9
Mozilla Introduces Firefox 9 – In just a matter of a few days since Firefox (FF) 8.0 released, now Mozilla has presented version 9.0 which is still in beta 1. So what makes Mozilla seem hasty in introducing the beta version?
In this beta version, Mozilla seems to really just wanted to introduce some new features only and does not show improvement from previous versions.
Version 9.0 beta is presented for two desktops and Android platforms. For desktops, presented for the Windows platform, Linux, and Mac OS. Mozilla claims that this latest version has the appearance of newer and faster. Mozilla also officially have provided a link to download it at hxxp://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/channel/.
Although at first sight that still has the same interface with FF8.0, FF 9.0 beta has some new features are quite interesting. With this additional feature, the file size FF 9.0 beta is slightly larger than FF 8.0
Here is a new feature FF 9.0 beta 1 version of the desktop:
- Type Inference
The new feature is useful for improving the performance of JavaScript so that it works faster.
- Mac OS X Lion support
FF 9 has a more new and fresh that fit together with the toolbars and icons style typical of the MacOS. Supports navigation methods using two fingers which make it easier when using multiple monitors.
- Chunked XHR Support
This feature helps developers in creating websites and applications to run faster, especially those in which there is a large enough data.
- Do Not Track JavaScript Detection
This feature is to eliminate the detection of traces on JavaScript. Just like chunked XHR, this feature is also more aimed at developers.
While the feature for the Android platform:
- Full-Screen Portrait Browsing
With it you can browse through the tablet screen using full-screen mode while in portrait mode. Display tab is placed on the top left menu and automatically be hidden when not in use.
- Optimization Tab
Tab thumbnails displayed on the left panel, it is easier for users switching between tabs despite being in a state of displaying full-screen web.
- New Action Bar with Quick Access Buttons
