After testing Firefox 3.1 Beta 1 on the Acid3 test, the new browser scores an impressive 89/100. This compares to other browsers as follows:
- Firefox 3 scores 71/100
- Opera 9.6 scores 85/100
- IE7 scores a dismal 12/100
- IE8 Beta 2 scores 21/100
- Safari 3.1.2 scores 75/100
- Safari 4 Beta 100/100
This is a great improvement and a step to being fully standards compliant. Mozilla still have some work to go to get to that magic 100 mark, but things are heading in the right direction.

Opera 10 beta does score 100 in the Acid 3 tests, but it was not out the time this aricle was posted.
