Mozilla Firefox 39.0 Beta 7 发布

Mozilla Firefox 39.0 Beta 7 今日发布于Mozila的FTP，目前官方还没有发布相关的更新报告，但从面向开发者的信息看，SSLv3被彻底移除出Firefox的支持范围，并实现对W3C制订的ARIA规范的支持，这是一个为残疾人士等提供无障碍访问动态、可交互Web内容的技术规范，为浏览器、媒体播放器、辅助技术的开发人员以及Web内容开发者定义了可以获得更广泛跨平台可访问性的方法。可见Firefox从现在开始对残障人士的会更加友好。

The RegExp constructor no longer throws when the first argument is a RegExp and the second flags argument is present (bug 1108949).

When using arrow functions (=>), a line terminator (\n) is no longer allowed after arrow function arguments (() \n => {}) (bug 1141392).
RegExp.prototype.toString is now a generic function (bug 1079919).
