Windows 10: Firefox Beta for Windows 10 Always Connected PCs Now Available

Brink · Jun 11, 2019

Whether it’s checking the weather forecast or movie times, you can always count on the web to give you the information you’re seeking. Your choice of operating system and computer shouldn’t change your online experience. As part of Mozilla’s mission, we built Firefox as a trusted user agent for people on the web and it’s one of the reasons why we’re always looking to work with companies to optimize Firefox Quantum for their devices.

Last December, we announced our collaboration with Qualcomm, to create an ARM64-native build of Firefox for Snapdragon-powered Windows 10 Always Connected PCs. Today, we’re excited to report its availability in our beta release channel, a channel aimed at developers or early tech adopters to test upcoming features before they’re released to consumers.

Today’s release builds on the performance work done for Firefox Quantum, which uses multiple processes as efficiently as possible. Working with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon compute platform, we’re able to push the multi-core paradigm one step further, offering octa-core CPUs. We’re also taking advantage of Rust’sfearless concurrency to intelligently divide browsing tasks across those cores to deliver a fast, personal, and convenient experience.

Snapdragon powered Always Connected PCs are ideal for the road warrior because they are thin, fanless, lightweight with a long battery life and lightening fast cellular connectivity, and built to seamlessly perform daily work tasks on-the-go. We’re no stranger to optimizing the Firefox browser for any device. From Fire TV to the new iPad, we’ve custom tailored Firefox browsers for a number of different devices, because it shouldn’t matter what device you use.

Firefox 10 Beta Available for Download

Since it already got its holiday present, the new three-year search agreement with Google, Mozilla has went into a gift-giving mode and served up the first public beta build of the next Firefox release, version 10.0.

According to the developers, Firefox 10 comes with Full Screen APIs (so web apps can run in full screen mode), with support for CSS3 3D-Transforms and WebGL Anti-Aliasing, and an added HTML5 treat, the < bdi > element for bi-directional text isolation.

The beta also includes a forward button which stays hidden until you navigate back, an Inspect tool with content highlighting, IndexedDB APIs, and a few fixes. Just like its predecessors, the Firefox 10.0 beta is available for Windows, Mac OS and Linux. The download links can be found here.
