Firefox 10's page inspector gives developers the ability to peek into a page's structure and layout without having to leave the browser. "This means they can quickly navigate between page elements and view the HTML document structure for the page," Mozilla wrote in a blog.
What's more, the browser's new style inspector tool provides developers with quick access to CSS properties as well as the ability to view or change values for their Web site from within Firefox. Additionally, the browser's scratchpad now leverages "the Eclipse Orion code editor to provide syntax highlighting and other features that make it easier and simpler to write JavaScript," Mozilla said.
Mozilla's new full-screen API and 3D support features give developers the ability to build full-screen and 3D Web experiences for Web sites and Web applications. Potential offerings include full-screen games, immersive video experiences and rich presentation sharing.
Firefox 10 now supports anti-aliasing for WebGL, enabling developers to create objects that blend together and move smoothly. Moreover, new support for CSS 3D Transforms will allow developers to animate and transform two-dimensional elements into 3D using HTML5 without the need for third-party plugins.
"We have also significantly improved Firefox add-on compatibility and simplified the update process for all users," Mozilla added.
