Firefox is about to get SPDY
The first Aurora build of Firefox 13 gets the SPDY protocol activated by default
Google's SPDY protocol for simultaneously faster and more secure Web site loading is turned on by default in the first Firefox 13 Aurora build. Faster and more secure browsing is coming to Firefox in a big way, as the first Aurora build of Firefox 13 gets the SPDY protocol activated by default, capping off more than four months of work putting SPDY into Firefox.
Firefox 13 Aurora doesn't
include many other new features or changes that affect Firefox fans
directly, but there are many under-the-hood tweaks. One is a user agent
change in Firefox for Android, so that Web sites can recognize when a
person is running Firefox for Android on a phone or a tablet. This means
that sites that have been coded to recognize different mobile device
form factors could change their appearance depending on your device.
Other changes include in-browser multitouch support and implementing the
Screen Orientation API on Android; and small but numerous improvements
to the DOM (Document Object Model, which helps a browser turn HTML into a
Web site), plug-ins, JavaScript, page layout rendering, and
browser-network interaction.
