application tabs, a redesigned add-on manager, integration with Firefox Sync, and support for multitouch displays.
On October 13, 2006, Brendan Eich, Mozilla's Chief Technology Officer,
wrote about the plans for "Mozilla 2", referring to the most
comprehensive iteration (since its creation) of the overall platform on
which Firefox and other Mozilla products run. Most of the objectives were gradually incorporated into Firefox through
versions 3.0, 3.5, and 3.6. The largest changes, however, were planned
for Firefox 4.
Firefox 4 was based on the Gecko 2.0 engine, which added or improved support for HTML5, CSS3, WebM, and WebGL.[ It also included a new JavaScript engine (JägerMonkey) and better XPCOM APIs.
