Firefox beta to have Apple’s multi-touch support

Last Monday, Mozilla released the latest beta version of Firefox 3.1. This new version of Firefox has some new features that include private browsing mode, a faster JavaScript engine, improved rendering, and new technology support. That new technology support is the highlight of the new version of Firefox. When they say new technology support, they are most likely talking about support for Apple’s multi-touch trackpad. The new supported gestures include:

- Swipe Left: Go back in history (hold Cmd to open it in a tab)
- Swipe Right: Go forward in history
- Swipe Up: Go to the top of the page
- Swipe Down: Go to the end of the page
- Pinch Together: Zoom out
- Pinch Apart: Zoom in
- Twist Right: Next tab
- Twist Left: Previous tab

Mozilla would like everybody to remember that this Beta version of Firefox is only for testing purposes. We would have to wait for the official version to be released at a later date.
