Mozilla is hard at work on the next version of Firefox. The new version 3.1 will feature many requested features that didn’t make it into the time frame of 3.0. The new features include private browsing, tab tearing, enhanced tab switching, enhanced security, and a new javascript engine just to name a few.
The new javascript engine has been dubbed TraceMonkey and is much faster than Safari (WebKit) or even Google Chrome. It is also significantly faster than Firefox 3.0. So look forward to increased performance from Firefox 3.1, especially with web apps like Gmail.
You can test Firefox 3.1 via Minefield.
