• New functions that make it easy to remove the history of your past few hours of browsing, or remove all traces of a website.
• New support for web worker threads.
• The new TraceMonkey JavaScript engine is now on by default
• Improvements to the Gecko layout engine, including speculative parsing
• Removed the new tab-switching & preview behavior based on feedback from Beta 1 users
• Support for new web technologies such as the video and audio elements, the W3C Geolocation API, JavaScript query selectors, CSS 2.1 and 3 properties, SVG transforms and offline applications.
