Firefox 29 Beta Arrives With UI Overhaul And CSS3 Variables

Posted by Unknown on from the var()-considered-awesome dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Following the release of Firefox 28 just two days ago, Mozilla today updated its Firefox Beta channel to version 29 for Windows, Mac, Linux, and Android. This is a massive release: Firefox Sync has been revamped and is now powered by Firefox Accounts, there's a new customization mode, and the major user interface overhaul Australis has finally arrived. Release notes are here: Desktop and Android." Of interest to developers: Firefox 29 will feature the first implementation of CSS3 variables. Yes, variables for CSS (15 years later).

    It sounds like you CAN host your own Firefox Sync server.

    "As with the previous version of Firefox sync, users still have the option to take their data with them and host their own sync service using the open source server-side software."
