"Promising faster performance and a bevy of new features, Mozilla on Friday released the first beta version of its Firefox 3.6 browser.
"Built on the Gecko 1.9.2 Web rendering engine, the new version contains numerous improvements for developers and users, Mozilla said, including support for what it calls "personas," improved responsiveness and faster startup time.
"The free, open source Web browser is available for download in versions for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux in 53 different languages.
"The alpha version of Firefox 3.6 was released in August. Most add-ons have not yet been upgraded by their authors to be compatible with Firefox 3.6 beta, Mozilla said."
