Firefox Deer Park Alpha Available

[Scarecrow Man]

The Mozilla folks have made available the newest release of the Firefox web browser. This release is for testers and developers only, and should not be used if you have no interest in trying out the latest build. The release notes cover the recent changes. From the what's new document: "Fast back (and forward) - This very experimental feature allows much faster session history navigation. The feature is off by default but can be enabled for testing purposes by setting the  browser.sessionhistory.max_viewers preference to a nonzero number."

As the article says, "This release is for testers and developers only, and should not be used if you have no interest in trying out the latest build." But this "Fast back (and forward)" sounds pretty neat...

I believe that Fast Back & Forward is already in 1.0.4, but needs to be activated. But I don't remember where that article is that describes the activation process. :ninja:

The feature is off by default but can be enabled for testing purposes by setting the  browser.sessionhistory.max_viewers preference to a nonzero number.

I imagine that is a registry entry... I've not seen the option in 1.0.4

Most probably an option in about:config , if I were to hazard a guess. I saw this build earlier, but nothing interested me enough to upgrade. Thanks though! :D
