A new API allows extension developers to access location-based functionality of Firefox. He also mentioned the possibility of executing scripts asynchronously to accelerate the time of loading a page.
At the store in terms of safety but also the stability of the Firefox components directory has been locked. Indeed, third-party developers can no longer write in this directory that contains the essential code of the Web browser.

Third-party developers will therefore have to comply with the directives of Mozilla, and if necessary rewrite their add-ons as XPI file in proper form. Enough to ensure a certain integrity to run the code of Firefox, and possibly provide components simply disable third problem.
The Beta 3 of Firefox 3.6 also announced disabling the preview open tabs in the taskbar in Windows 7. A feature of Aero Peek. Enough to arouse disappointment of users of Windows 7, some of which also expressed disappointment with the jump lists, Firefox 3.6 will not support some features of the operating system among the more welcome.
