Download Firefox 9 Beta 1

The first beta for Firefox 9 has been released and the features it brings to the table should not come as a surprise, as they’ve been touted since this version was in Aurora development stage. But in this version everything is more fine-tuned.

Type Inference is now part of this build, all brushed up and ready to produce faster browsing. Mozilla mentions a faster Firefox 9 in major benchmarks, by up to 30%. Also, navigating to JS heavy websites should be much faster.

Do Not Track JavaScript Detection takes care of the behavioral tracking problem, while chunked XHR support speeds up websites, since the data is displayed before the full download completes.

In layman English, Firefox 9 Beta is faster and provides users the means to inform websites they do now want their browsing to be tracked.
