Mozilla has released the first
Alpha version of Firefox 3.6, code-named Namoroka. the pre-release version of the browser is available for
Windows, Linux, and OS X, and includes a number of new features including:
- Tab previews when you hit Ctrl + Tab
- Faster JavaScript engine
- Improved startup speed and overall responsiveness
- Better session restore features
This is still an early release, and there are a number of known issues. You can read about them in the
release notes. It's also worth noting that the tab previews weren't enabled by default when I first installed Firefox 3.6 alpha 1. In order to enable them, type "about:config" into the location bar (without quotes) and then search for
browser.ctrlTab.previews and set the value to true.
