Firefox 3.6 Will Detect Computer Orientation And Movement

It seems that Mozilla is still capable of surprising us with new features in its popular Firefox browser.

One feature that's been revealed for the upcoming Firefox version 3.6 is its ability to detect the computer's orientation and change the output accordingly.

"Originally built as something that we would include for our upcoming mobile browser release, we've made it available on desktop systems as well," Christopher Blizzard wrote on the official Firefox blog. "Many modern Macbooks and Thinkpads contain devices and drivers that expose this information. We've added support for Linux, Macs and some Thinkpads where drivers and devices are available."
