Download Mozilla Firefox 3.1 alpha 1

Not long ago, Mozilla reached the important 3.0 milestone with its Firefox web browser. That does not mean that the developers are lazily sitting back and twiddling their thumbs. For some time now people have been busy with the successor, codenamed Shiretoko and last Monday the first alpha release appeared. It is an early development version that is certainly not suitable for everyday use, but it gives a good idea of ​​​​what is to come. Below are the release notes for the first aplha of Firefox 3.1:

This Alpha of Shiretoko / Gecko 1.9.1 introduces several new features:

• Web standards improvements in the Gecko layout engine
• text API for the element
