Firefox 4.0 Beta 1 Released 190

Posted by timothy from the that's-a-nice-good-morning dept.
balster neb writes "Mozilla has released the first Beta of Firefox 4, the next major version of the popular web browser. Apart from the new 'Chromified' tabs-on-top UI, there are many major improvements in performance and HTML5 support. This release also adds support for the new WebM video format. Other changes include faster DOM and CSS performance, improved UI responsiveness, hardware 2D acceleration, experimental WebGL support, and better JavaScript performance (though this beta does not include the new JaegerMonkey JIT engine). More details on the Mozilla blog."

Not always. Sometimes you need to do something that looks really ass-backwards, and that may take a bit of commenting.
Yes indeed that's true. Sometimes you have to use hacks etc because of external libraries etc which can't modified. Then comments are good. In those cases we always start our comments with 'WHY:' or 'HACK:' to clearly indicate the reason for the comment.
