Mozilla launched Firefox 3.1 Beta 1

Firefox 3.1 Beta 1 yesterday (October 14) was officially introduced to a large number of Internet users, but there is no one of the most anticipated features in this version.

In the article introducing this test on the official website, Mozilla affirmed that Firefox 3.1 has been greatly improved compared to previous versions in terms of performance, web standard compatibility and browsing speed. . The goal of Firefox 3.1 Beta 1 is to help users get a first look at the key features that will be included in this browser version.

Being the most popular 'advertised' in Firefox 3.1 Beta 1 is the ability to fully support the 'video' and 'audio' HTML tags, the ability to use Ctrl-Tab shortcut to switch between TAB and function tags The new Geolocation API fully supports other third-party services in locating browser users and bringing that information to websites and services on demand.

In fact, the Geolocation API has only just started to be noticed last week, with Mozilla launching an additional Geode application for Firefox 3.0 that claims to integrate this feature into Firefox 3.1.

Mozilla launched Firefox 3.1 Beta 1 Picture 1 The feature is cut off in Firefox 3.1 Beta 1 is TraceMonkey Javascript - engine that handles Javascript source code. The default feature in Firefox 3.1 Beta 1 is still disabled.

Since this feature is most expected because of the 'advertising' of Mozilla, TraceMonkey can help increase Javascript processing speed by up to 40% compared to the previous version of the same version still used in the Firefox version. 3.0. Somehow, Mozilla still disabled this feature in Firefox 3.1 Beta 1 version.

But users can still activate TraceMonkey by the following way. Open Firefox 3.1 Beta 1, enter the command 'about: config' (note no quotes) and press Enter. In the Filter section enter the 'javascript.options.jit.content' command line and double-click the result shown below, change the value to 'True' and restart Firefox 3.1 Beta 1 for the change to take effect.

According to Mozilla's Firefox 3.1 development schedule, on November 4, the company will "freeze" the source code of the Beta 2 version - ie stop developing, modifying or adding source code. So only about a week or two after this time Firefox 3.1 Beta 2 may be released again.
