Firefox 3 Alpha 3 released
The third alpha of Firefox 3 is available now and while it’s still mainly oriented to get testers around the lot of work that is going on Gecko, Firefox’s web page rendering engine, we can find much more interesting features here.
As announced, support for animated PNG is included, so it seems to be on track to make it for Firefox 3. I wasn’t able to find any one I could try. Not even the samples provided by Andrew Smith, the developer who implemented APNG support.
Initial support for offline web pages. Not sure how far it is right now, but at least specific web page elements such as JavaScript code snippets, style sheets and images can be marked to be cached (saved) to be available while working offline.
