Nouveautés de Gran Paradiso Alpha 2
 
* Core layout code affecting the calculation of widths in tables, floats, and absolutely positioned elements has been rewritten. The code for handling incremental layout of pages (as data arrives over the network, as images load, or as dynamic changes are made) has also been changed extensively. (See the Reflow-Refactoring wiki page for more information.
* Resolved remaining issues with ACID2 test compliance.
* Support for the Web Apps 1.0 API for changing stylesheets.
* The inline-block and inline-table values of CSS 2.1's display property are now implemented.
* XML documents can now be rendered as they're downloaded instead of only after the full document has been loaded.
* Greatly improved Mac widgets support since Alpha 1.
* Improvements in the Cairo graphics layer.

Some of the changes in Gecko 1.9 Alpha 2 will affect the web and platform compatibility of Gran Paradiso Alpha 2:

* Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows ME are not supported for Gecko 1.9.
* OS X 10.2 is no longer supported, and OS X 10.3.9 or better is required.
* The non-standard JavaScript Script object is no longer supported.
* Moving DOM nodes between documents now requires a call to importNode or adoptNode as per the DOM specification.

Release Notes
 
Gecko 1.9 Alpha 3 introduces several new features which can be tested by using Gran Paradiso Alpha 3:

* Animated PNG (APNG) images are now supported.
* The DOM clientLeft and clientTop attributes are now supported.
* Introduced support for <link rel="offline-resource">, which puts resources into the browser's offline cache. This allows a web application to ensure that its resources are available in the cache when the browser goes into offline mode. See Marking Resources for Offline Use for further details on offline support.
* Improved precision of layout and scaling across a wide range of screen and printer resolutions.
* Implemented cycle collection in XPCOM, which detects cases where two released objects hold one another, but neither is held by anyone else. In this scenario, both objects can safely be purged. Previously, the holds each has on the other would have prevented them from being purged.
* Added support for the HttpOnly cookie attribute, which marks a cookie as readable only by the server and not by client-side scripts.
* Added a new preference, "Warn me when web sites try to redirect or reload the page", which notifies the user when the page specifies HTTP-EQUIV=refresh.

Gran Paradiso 1.9 Alpha 7 introduit plusieurs nouvelles fonctions :

* Mot de passe général. Un bug a été découvert dans le code NSS, ce qui à faire quelques changements dans la fonction pour être correctement interprêtée. Le panneau de préférence pour activer/désactiver cette fonction a été désactivée pour permettre de minimiser les problèmes. (bug 390451). Les extensions qui font appels à cette fonction ne doivent pas être utilisées dans cette alpha 7.
* Améliorations spécifiques à Mac OS X :
- Les menus contextuels sont largement moins buggés. Nous avons appliqué les corrections pour tous les bugs jugés sérieux.
- Plusieurs corrections dans le presse-papier ainsi que les fonctions de cliquer/déposer. Nous supportons maintenant les déplacements de fichiers comme promis. Les opéretions liés à ces fonctions fonctionnent beaucoup mieux avec Places.

- Plusieurs autres corrections pour la stabilité, sécurité, et autres.
* Performances en fermeture: Les utilisateurs qui gardent un historique plus grand que la valeur par défaut peuvent avoir des délais de fermeture assez long lors de la première fermeture du logiciel, car la base contenant l'historique est reconstruite pour corriger le (bug 390451). Ce problème n'affecte en aucun cas les utilisateurs n'ayant pas changé les préférences liés à l'historique (par défaut 9 jours). Plus d'information disponible sur le bug 319455.

Releases Notes
 
Firefox 3 Beta 1 is based on the new Gecko 1.9 Web rendering platform, which has been under development for the past 27 months and includes nearly 2 million lines of code changes, fixing more than 11,000 issues. Gecko 1.9 includes some major re-architecting for performance, stability, correctness, and code simplification and sustainability. Firefox 3 has been built on top of this new platform resulting in a more secure, easier to use, more personal product with a lot under the hood to offer website and Firefox add-on developers.

More Security

* One click site info: Click the site favicon in the location bar to see who owns the site. Identity verification is prominently displayed and easier to understand. In later versions, Extended Validation SSL certificate information will be displayed.
* Malware Protection: malware protection warns users when they arrive at sites which are known to install viruses, spyware, trojans or other malware. You can test it here (note: our blacklist of malware sites is not yet activated).
* New Web Forgery Protection page: the content of pages suspected as web forgeries is no longer shown. You can test it here.
* New SSL error pages: clearer and stricter error pages are used when Firefox encounters an invalid SSL certificate.
* Add-ons and Plugin version check: Firefox now automatically checks add-on and plugin versions and will disable older, insecure versions.
* Secure add-on updates: to improve add-on update security, add-ons that provide updates in an insecure manner will be disabled.
* Anti-virus integration: Firefox will inform anti-virus software when downloading executables.
* Vista Parental Controls: Firefox now respects the Vista system-wide parental control setting for disabling file downloads.

Easier to Use

* Easier password management: an information bar replaces the old password dialog so you can now save passwords after a successful login.
* Simplified add-on installation: the add-ons whitelist has been removed making it possible to install extensions from third-party sites in fewer clicks.
* New Download Manager: the revised download manager makes it much easier to locate downloaded files.
