Firefox 3.1 Beta 3 is now available for download. This milestone is
focused on testing the core functionality provided by many new
features and changes to the platform scheduled for Firefox 3.1.
Ongoing planning for Firefox 3.1 can be followed at the Firefox 3.1
Planning Center, as well as in mozilla.dev.planning and on
irc.mozilla.org in #shiretoko.

New features and changes in this milestone that require feedback
include:

• Improved the new Private Browsing Mode, including the ability to
“Forget This Site” from the History sidebar.
• Improved performance and stability with the new TraceMonkey
JavaScript engine.
• Improvements to web worker thread support.
• New native JSON support.
• Improvements to the Gecko layout engine, including speculative
parsing for faster content rendering.
• Support for new web technologies such as the <video> and <audio>
elements, the W3C Geolocation API, JavaScript query selectors, CSS 2.1
and 3 properties, SVG transforms and offline applications.
Testers can download Firefox 3.1 Beta 3 builds for Windows, Mac OS X,
and Linux in 64 different languages:
