Firefox 3 beta 2 Passes Acid 2
Posted: Thu Dec 20, 2007 9:03 am
Well, I am glad for this. I saw the posting on Lxer about Firefox 3 beta 2 and read the mozillazine article: http://www.mozillazine.org/talkback.html?article=22782
In the comments I noticed that someone said it did not pass Acid 2 even though beta 1 had. A response said there was an error with the image retrieval on the page and it does pass Acid 2, the problem was not with the browser. So I just had to see for myself.
I downloaded and fired up Beta 3 under Gutsy. I really like the direction they are going. While there are not any serious changes, it seems a bit slicker, polished. It did pass the Acid 2 test.
Two things of content though. First, most of my extensions did not work; which is to be expected at this stage. Seocond, the history drop down is messed up. The fonts are all whacky. Still; great stuff.
