Firefox 3.1 Beta 2 Released

The new beta 2 of Firefox 3.1 is now available for download. Few nice features from Google Chrome have been implemented in this release including: 

• Private Browsing Mode
• Tab tearing (drag tab out to a new window or drag a window to a tab)
• Faster TraceMonkey Javascript engine.
• Support for new web technologies such as the <video> and <audio> elements, the W3C Geolocation API, JavaScript query selectors, CSS 2.1 and 3 properties, SVG transforms and offline applications. (no need for Plug-ins)

If you plan to download and test drive the new version, it goes to a new directory. And most existing extensions will not work. But if you do need absolutely to use some of them, you can try this trick  [Courtesy of LifeHacker], it works well for me.  Read more the release notes
