Firefox 4 Beta 2 is here - now with CSS3 transitions
Performance & CSS3 Transitions - the Frenchman again!
As Mozilla have explained before, they are now making more frequent updates to their beta program. So here it is, Firefox Beta 2 has just been released, 3 weeks after Beta 1.
Firefox 4 Beta 1 already brought a large amount of new features (see the Beta 1 feature list). So what’s new for web developers in this beta?
Performance: In this new Beta, Firefox comes with a new page building mechanism: Retained Layers. This mechanism provides noticeable faster speed for web pages with dynamic content, and scrolling is much smoother. Also, we’re still experimenting with hardware acceleration: using the GPU to render and build some parts of the web page.
CSS3 Transitions on transforms: The major change for web developers is probably CSS3 Transitions on CSS3 Transformations.
