Firefox 4 Beta 9 Released
In what seems like a never-ending stream of Firefox betas, Mozilla has released their ninth in the series. Below is what’s new, and in addition to that there are a ton more bug fixes. Mozilla is getting ever-closer to their hopeful February release date. More betas, theoretically, mean a better end-product. The release candidate should be released toward the beginning of February, and if all goes well we’ll see Firefox 4 toward the end. The complete change list shows all of the bug fixes.
What’s new:
-
Overhaul of the bookmarks and history code, enabling faster bookmarking and startup performance
-
Per-compartment garbage collection is now enabled, reducing work done during complex animations
