The first developer milestone of the next release of Firefox – code named Shiretoko Alpha 1 – is now available for download. Shiretoko is built on pre-release version of the Gecko 1.9.1 platform, which forms the core of rich internet applications such as Firefox. Shiretoko Alpha 1 is being made available for testing purposes only, and is intended for web application developers and our testing community. Current users of Mozilla Firefox should not use Shiretoko Alpha 1.
This Alpha of Shiretoko / Gecko 1.9.1 introduces several new features:
- Web standards improvements in the Gecko layout engine
- Text API for the <canvas> element
- Support for using border images
