Firefox 11 has surfaced as an Aurora developer build on Mozilla's website and provides a first glimpse at the new features coming soon.There is already plenty of criticism that this new version is not including enough of the new features for the average users, but instead mainly developer tools. Among those new features is one particularly interesting feature - Tilt.Some readers may remember Tilt as an add-on that enabled the user to display the structure of a web page as three-dimensional graphic with its building blocks. There is not much use of this feature for the general user, but it useful analyzing a web page with all of its elements nested in the DOM. In Aurora 11, Tilt is fully integrated in the Page Inspector via a new 3D button. The feature is implemented via WebGL and is hardware accelerated. Viewing options include zooming (+/-), rotating (a/d and w/s), as well as panning (arrow keys).
You can download Aurora 11 here to check out the 3D feature.

Cool, this could mean we can play more advance 3D games from with Firefox when Firefox 11 is released.
I wonder how this will affect PC game makers, and would this mean they start making 3D game makers make 3D games for 3D capable browser like Firefox, Google Chrome, IE9, Opera 12.
Plus, would 3D capable browsers be released for the next Xbox, Wii, and PS4?
