Mozilla is pushing a new version of Firefox Beta out to the Play Store today, and it brings some big changes. You might not be thrilled with all of them, but it’s Firefox so you can change things. Don’t get me wrong, it’s almost all objectively good stuff. Are you sufficiently intrigued?

FIXED

CSS transitions start correctly when started at the same time as changes to display, position, overflow, and similar properties

The tab casting is certainly neat, but it seems pretty buggy for me. Your mileage may vary. The WiFi toggle on error pages is cool too. If you connection dies or you forget you left WiFi off on a tablet, it’s fast to get back online.

Now as for search, Yahoo is the default now. Yes, that’s strange for an Android browser, but it’s easy to change. This is listed as a “evaluation,” so it might not stick.Â
