Download Mozilla Firefox 10.0 Beta 1

As we are used to from Mozilla, the first beta release of the next version appeared shortly after the release of the final of the Firefox web browser. The list of new features in version 10 does not yet show spectacular things. For example, the forward button is only visible when the back button is clicked. There’s also anti-aliasing for WebGL, a new CSS Style Inspector, a new api for creating full screen web applications and support for css3-3d transforms. Below you will find an overview of the most important improvements that we can expect in version 10.0.
