On a news Mozilla confirms the release of Firefox 6 is on Tuesday that is August 16th.
Firefox is all set for Windows, Linux,Mac and Android platforms.
- Progress bars via the <progress> HTML element, with a look that is native to the host operating system.
- window.matchMedia(): allows you to programmatically execute CSS Media Queries. For example, you can check the orientation of a device and act differently in landscape and in portrait orientation.
- Improved handling of binary data: Read binary data via an XMLHttpRequest or from a file; concatenate binary data and text and produce binary data.
- WebSockets are supported (again).
- Server-Sent Events allow servers to push messages to clients. It is one-directional and thus much more limited than bidirectional mechanisms such as WebSockets. But it makes provisions for mobile devices where a proxy in a network can handle messages when a device is asleep or offline and then convert a server-sent event to a true push message.
