The Mozilla community is proud to release Firefox 3.6 Beta 1 for
download. This beta version of the next version of Firefox is built on
the Gecko 1.9.2 web rendering engine, containing many improvements for
web developers, Add-on developers, and users. The Mozilla community
appreciates your feedback and assistance in testing this preview
of the next version of Firefox. Your beta software will update itself
periodically, and eventually will be updated to the final release
itself.
This first revision of the Beta of Firefox 3.6 / Gecko 1.9.2
introduces several new features:
• Users can now change their browser’s appearance with a single
click, with built in support for Personas.
• Firefox 3.6 will alert users about out of date plugins to keep them
safe.
• Open, native video can now be displayed full screen, and supports
poster frames.
• Support for the WOFF font format.
• Improved JavaScript performance, overall browser responsiveness and
startup time.
• Support for new CSS, DOM and HTML5 web technologies.
Web developers and Add-on developers should read more detail about the
many new features in Firefox 3.6 for developers on the Mozilla
Developer Center.

Add-ons, please also download and install the Add-on Compatibility
