Firefox 6 beta: Here already !!

   Today a big percentage of internet users surf the web using the Firefox browser. Now that most of them updated to Firefox 4, and Firefox 5 less that a month ago, Firefox 6 beta1 is already available !! and the final release will be in the next few weeks, probably next month. Add to this that the foundation is already working on a Firefox 7 !!

   Firefox 6 beta1 available on Windows, Mac and Linux includes:

• Add-ons Manager with Plugin Check: Check that your plugins are up-to-date directly from the Add-ons Manager.
• Improved Panorama Groups: Reduces browser startup time by only loading saved tab groups when you use Panorama.
• Improved Address Bar: Highlights the domain name of the website you’re visiting to make it easy to identify where you are online.
• Streamlined site identity block.
• The Scratchad: Quickly build and test JavaScript snippets in the browser.
• Support for Web Sockets with a prefixed API.
• Moveable Web Console .
• New Web developer-specific menu.
• Window.matchMedia API.
• Support for server-sent events.

   And not to forget the release for Android which includes:

• New initial experience: Firefox starts faster and uses less memory..
• Higher-quality image scaling: View crisp Web pages and images with less pixelation
• Enhanced Firefox experience on large screen tablets
• Improvements to the form helper on Android
• Fresh visual style on Gingerbread OS
• Optimization for pages that use right to left layout rendering, e.g. in Hebrew and Arabic
• Touch Events for better interaction with Web pages
• IndexedDB allows Web pages to store data offline for faster access
• Automatic text hyphenation

   Seeing how fast this goes I personally wouldn't be surprised if Firefox 8 is released before Firefox 7 !!
