This beta release introduces the ability to switch between tabs using the Ctrl-Tab combination (3d tab switching). The tab-switching feature has been available in form of an extension till now. </p> <p>Users can also drag and drop tabs between different Firefox windows. The beta release also has geolocation capability – currently available as an add-on - built into it. Geolocation allows users to interact with the web based on their geographic location. </p> <p>The inbuilt geolocation feature in <a href="http://developer.mozilla.org/devnews/index.php/2008/10/14/firefox-31-beta-1-now-available-for-download/">Firefox 3.1</a> and Geode – the geolocation extension - are slightly dissimilar. The difference lies in the fact that the former offers users a choice between GPS-based tracking and WiFi-based tracking, whereas Geode only counts on WiFi for tracking the location of a user.</p> <p><em>Image Credit: Review-Gadget</em></p> http://www.maximumpc.com/article/news/firefox_31_beta_1_released_brings_3d_tab_switching_and_geolocation#comments News 3d tab switching ctrl-tab firefox 3.1 beta 1 geode geolocation mozilla labs Release web browser Wed, 15 Oct 2008 07:14:05 -0500 Pulkit Chandna 3872 at http://www.maximumpc.com
