With a few days late, Mozilla has released the beta of Firefox 6. This pre-release is for those who wish to test the new browser without waiting for the final version, without embarking on the dangers of Aurora, more unstable. It is also an opportunity for the editor to propose a new beta for its Firefox Mobile.
The improvements are more functional than those proposed in Aurora 7, but the performance enhancements, including memory usage, are not there yet. The following new features:
* The ability to verify that you have the latest versions directly from the extensions manager
* Panorama: launch the browser faster by not loading the saved group of tabs
* Highlighting the domain in the address bar
* An information panel of the identity of the site reviewed and clearer
* Scratchpad to quickly write and test JavaScript code directly in Firefox
* The return of support WebSockets
* A Web console can be moved
* New menu specifically for web developers
* The management API Window.matchMedia
* Support for events sent from servers
It is thus also a new beta of Firefox Mobile for Android. The new features are also more significant:
* Faster startup
* Low power consumption of RAM
* Expansion of higher quality images
* Improved user experience on shelves
* Improvements on help in filling out forms
* New theme more in line with Gingerbread (Android 2.3)
* Some optimizations for rendering pages using ranging from right to left
* Management of tactile events
* Management IndexedDB
* Automatic hyphenation
The final versions of Firefox and Firefox Mobile 6 will be available in a few weeks
