New Version Of Firefox Beta, Now With Multitouch Support.




The Mozilla Foundation is working full time with the beta version of Firefox 4 and every day brings more improvements, some small and others more dramatic. And today we get to see one of those large deployments that leave us speechless. This is the last update of the Firefox beta 4, which add support for multitouch. This means that if we have a touch device (or tablet PC with Windows 7), we can enjoy the experience of surfing the web with our fingers.

How does this new feature works? It takes advantage of new technologies provided by CSS3 and HTML5. On the other side, is based on experiments of Felipe Gomes, who created the API and custom development itself. After the jump, a spectacular video.
