Firefox 3 beta 4: Disponible!!!

Justo en el dia de ayer salio la penultima beta de nuestro navegador favorito y aqui no nos habiamos hecho eco de la noticia.

Pues desde esta pagina pueden descargar la ultima beta de Firefox para probarla. Aqui en EricLinux hemos estado probadando las betas desde el FF3b2 y la verdad es que se nota el avance en lo que es el mejor navegador web que hay disponible ahora mismo.

Las diferencias entre la beta3 y la beta4 son enormes tales como:

• Firefox 3 Beta 4 includes more than 900 enhancements from the previous beta, including drastic improvements to performance and memory usage, as well as fixes for stability, platform enhancements and user interface improvements. Many of these improvements were based on community feedback from the previous beta.

• New Download Manager: the revised download manager makes it much easier to locate downloaded files, and you can see and search on the name of the website where a file came from. Your active downloads and time remaining are always shown in the status bar as your files download.

• Integration with Vista: Firefox now has Vista-specific icons, and uses native user interface widgets in the browser and in web forms.

• Speed: improvements to our JavaScript engine as well as profile guided optimizations have resulted in significant improvements in performance. Compared to Firefox 2, web applications like Google Mail and Zoho Office run twice as fast in Firefox 3 Beta 4, and the popular SunSpider test from Apple shows improvements over previous releases.

• Memory usage: Several new technologies work together to reduce the amount of memory used by Firefox 3 Beta 4 over a web browsing session. Memory cycles are broken and collected by an automated cycle collector, a new memory allocator reduces fragmentation, hundreds of leaks have been fixed, and caching strategies have been tuned.

Pero recuerden esto es aun una beta y por lo tanto se nesecita de su ayuda y feedback para poder continuar mejorando la misma. Asi que pueden utilizar Bugzilla o uniendose a la lista de correo de los Beta Testers.

Pueden bajar la beta 4 desde aqui.
