14 DAY TRIAL // Mozilla is offering a new beta of its Firefox web browser for Mac, Windows, and Linux users looking to test out the latest features. The release focuses exclusively on code tweaks and corrections.
Some of the highlights gathered from the official release notes include: “removed spurious assertion;” “moved test page to a new window to prevent it from navigating the test runner frame back;” and “resolved style for pseudo-elements correctly when style rules that have user action pseudo-classes on them are present.”
The changelog is fairly long, but we have a compressed version available on Softpedia for your viewing pleasure. The system requirements remain unchanged: 512 MB RAM, 200 MB hard drive space, and Mac users in particular need a 64-bit processor to run the browser.
Firefox 29 is still a long way from reaching Stable status, so don’t expect it to drop any time soon. More testing will be needed before the browser can be deemed reliable for work and even personal affairs. Key focus areas in this development cycle include the browser’s sync feature (powered by Firefox Accounts), customization features, and the user interface.
