Two weeks ago Mozilla released the second beta of Firefox 4. Today, the company has made the new Firefox 4 Beta 3 available to users. The new version adds support to ten more languages, bringing the total of supported languages to over 30. As usual, the new Firefox 4 Beta 3 is available for Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux.
According to the The Mozilla Blog, the new beta introduces the following features:
Multi-touch
Firefox 4 Beta now has multi-touch support for Windows 7 to enable people to
interact with Web content with their hands naturally. Developers can use multi-touch capabilities to leverage touch-enabled devices and provide people with an intuitive and fun browsing experience. For more details, see the blog posts by Paul Rouget and Felipe Gomes.
New JavaScript Values
Changes to the C++ representation of JavaScript enable Firefox to execute heavy, numeric code more efficiently. This sort of code is used to produce smooth, streamlined graphics in modern Web applications. For more details, see Rob Sayre’s blog post.
Firefox 4 Beta includes a Feedback Add-on with Mozilla Labs Test Pilot, which will ask you to take part in anonymous studies. You can choose to opt-out of any or all studies and manage your settings in the Feedback button. The feedback is used to help us improve future Firefox Beta releases. See Mike Beltzner’s blog post for more details.
Mozilla states that current Firefox 4 Beta testers will receive automatic updates. The next beta will also be released in the coming weeks, bringing more features to the browser.
