Download Firefox 3.6 Alpha 1 now


The first developer milestone of the next release of Firefoxcode named Namoroka Alpha 1is now available for download.

Namoroka is built on pre-release version of the Gecko 1.9.2 platform, which forms the core of rich internet applications such as Firefox.




This Alpha of Namoroka / Gecko 1.9.2 introduces several new features:
  • Compositor (Phase 1), which moves Gecko to using one native widget per top-level content document.
  • A new focus model, described here and tracked in bug 178324
  • The chromedir attribute has been replaced with a pseudoclass
  • Several new CSS3 properties including background size and gradients for background images
  • Speed improvements to the TraceMonkey JavaScript engine
  • Startup and responsiveness improvements throughout the application
These features make this browser more efficient in loading speedier
But not all add ons work on this version , and the experimental add ons doesn't work at all
Better is to install in separate folder and try out , instead of upgrading to alpha ,as you will definitely need the old 3.5 version back and if directly updates ,this would require again uninstallation and again downloading setup and installing .

DOWNLOAD :


Though the New look is slight bit more eye pleasing and looks more professional and decorative that is more smooth and aeroish type , and with plus increased speed and other features , but it cannot handle old genuine and new experimental add ons . maybe better is to wait for beta ;)

NOTE: This release is intended for developers and testers only.
