if your mac has an accelerometer, firefox 3.6 takes advantage of it, and (im not exactly sure) but judging from what it says and the picture, it lets you tilt your web pages. Kind of like liquidmac. and i didnt know till now what an accelerometer does. it spins down the hard drive when it moves in an attempt to help prevent it from being damaged, which although annoying, explains the click that comes from my mac every time i stand up. |

picture is not loading.
like the comments said from the link provided, i think the accelerometer is a bit annoying. if the update on mac is just going to be on visual one time tricks, this would be very disappointing for mozilla. |

I could see this being beneficial if you want a 768x1024 picture for a website or graphic. But to use the accelerometer like the phone for games, I don't think that'll play out very well. Using to protect the hardware may or may not work.

its only for computers with accelerometers. some other laptops have it to. its for windows and linux to, but you need the hardware.
