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).

    So you hack elements into a table? How is that not using a table for 3 column layout? Why not just actually use a table? You can hack the elements away from being a table to get a mobile version.

    IE6 is a 10,000 times more valid target browser than lynx.
