After a slightly sluggish delay, the latest preview build of Mozilla's next-gen browser is open to the public.
Expectedly, much of the update is technical in nature, adding things like cross-site XMLHttpRequest support. The big graphical change is the addition of backend support for full-page zoom. Also new is an extension for browser history from nine days to 180.
Other notes on the technical side include support for SVG lighting/tile filters and color management, and new XUL menus.
Firefox 3 Alpha 7 was originally planned for a late July release but was pushed back slightly due to development problems. The next alpha is expected to be available on September 18.
