- Post a comment Firefox 4.0 Beta 1 is now
available for Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X. Mozilla
originally said that it plans on releasing the final version of Firefox
4 sometime in October, but it appears that this date may slip by a few
days or weeks. Meanwhile, Microsoft is preparing to launch Beta 1 of
IE9 next month. As far as we can see now, it may be a tight race
between IE9 and FF4 as far as JavaScript and D2D acceleration is
concerned. The Webkit browsers Chrome and Safari as well as Opera 10.6
have the edge in JavaScript performance, but they do not support
hardware acceleration yet. In Firefox 4.x related news, Howtogeek posted a quick tip about
bypassing the incompatible add-on error on Firefox. |
