ЧТО НОВОГО:

Getting you to the web faster:

    • The new first-run experience gets you directly to the home page and briefly shows you browser features in the side panels. Firefox starts up faster and uses less memory.

Creating a better web experience:

    • Higher-quality image scaling (on devices with NEON-compatible processors). Smoother zooming, less pixelation, crisper display of logos.
    • First wave of improvements for large-screen tablets: Optimizing Firefox for larger tablet devices, e.g. by adjusting UI elements, buttons, font size. We will be releasing more significant tablet optimizations within the next few releases.
    • Better integration of Form Assistant for a smoother user experience
    • Visual refresh with new Gingerbread theme for phones running Android 2.3 (Gingerbread): A fresh look for the browser to look even more beautiful on Gingerbread.
    • Universal Access: Optimized rendering of pages that use RTL layout (languages like Arabic, Hebrew) (see bug 634386)

Important improvements "under the hood" and new technology features:

    • Touch Events (part 1 - single touch only): Expose touch events to content for better interaction with web pages and services, and improved compatibility with existing web content.
    • IndexedDB database storage for web pages
    • Orientation and accelleration for web pages. Conforms to Editor's Draft 5 July 2011.
    • Automatic text hyphenation with the -moz-hyphens CSS property (see bug 253317)
    • All Firefox versions now support animated CSS Transitions (more info | demo).
    • Improved performance and memory management

More bug fixes and enhancements:

    • Move Find In Page, Share Page, and Save As PDF to app menu on Android (see bug 612193)
    • Implement the W3C DeviceOrientation Event Specification (see bug 615597)
    • Selecting "Tabs from other computers" on home screen directs to Preferences (see bug 639711)
    • WebGL textures broken when decode-on-draw is enabled (see bug 647802)
    • Tweaks to Firefox Gingerbread UI (see bug 659447)
    • Update Gingerbread UI for Preferences/Downloads/Addons and Context Menu (see bug 659457)
    • Tweak selection color in Gingerbread theme (see bug 660632)
    • [Java][SwiftKey] StringIndexOutOfBoundsException in String.substring() via GeckoInputConnection.getExtractedText (see bug 663445)
