The company noted that Beta 3 also adds “a new way of representing values in JavaScript that allows Firefox to execute heavy, numeric code (used for things like graphics and animations) more efficiently.”Įssentially, starting with Beta 3, Firefox 4.0 will allow users running Windows 7 on touch-capable hardware to virtually get a “hands-on” experience for the open source browser. “Web authors can now get touch events from Firefox users on Windows 7 machines,” Mozilla stated. With Beta 3, the pre-release flavor of the next major iteration of Firefox is available in no less than 34 languages, and brings to the table a variety of changes on top of the bug fixes that are inherent to the evolution from one development milestone to another.Īn important new feature is related to the tailoring of Firefox 4.0 to Windows 7, and the operating system’s Natural User Interface (NUI), namely multi-touch capabilities. Mozilla is planning to announce officially the release of Firefox 4.0 Beta 3 later today, but early adopters and developers can already grab the bits and start testing. The third Beta development milestone of Firefox 4.0 is now available for download.
