We all know that Mozilla has introduced its latest Firefox 4 beta version to the public. What novelties have been added? First, the application interface has become Chrome-like. Second, a lot of new features are united under the standard HTML5. Though this specification is still a draft, but it has already substituted endless tags, plug-ins, JavaScript, and AJAX.
What concerns other advantages of Firefox 4 they are the following. Now it is much easier to mix SVG and MathML data with outdated texts. User won’t have to wait for a GIF to be delivered from a server, as optional WebGL layers and the Cannvas will create custom images at Firefox 4. A more document-centric approach will be provided with the help of numerous tags like figure and header. As a result of it, data will be presented like information on the printed page.
The Websockets API will also be implemented in this browser. This tool enables the server and this app to send information back and forth if necessary. Indexed databases will be open to the JavaScript programmer, in case of necessity to store some data locally.
These are not the only new possibilities of the popular browser. For more detailed information visit InfoWorld.com.
