z-indexvalues are supported correctly.
What can i say about the improved performace:
- Reliability. Firefox 3 now stores bookmarks, history, cookies, and preferences in a transactionally secure database format. This means your data is protected against loss even if your system crashes.
- Speed. Firefox 3 has gotten a performance boost by completely replacing the part of the software that handles drawing to your screen, as well as to how page layout work is handled.
- Memory use reduced. Firefox 3 is more memory efficient than ever, with over 300 memory “leak” bugs fixed and new features to help automatically locate and dispose of leaked memory blocks.
And so much more. I think that this time, Microsoft’s IE is going down. The numbers of Firefox download are increasing. Even my mom is using Firefox.
Is still a beta. but can’t wait till is ready, i’m already using it. ![]()
