One of the most interesting features of Firefox 11 is the Page Inspector 3D View, a tool for developer to inspect web page element in more intuitive and clearer point of view, that brings 3D visualization for elements structure of a web page, just like a building.
With this new way of visualization, users can get a better understanding of how web-sites work, relationship between an x element and other y element, positions of components and their container, and more.
Page Inspector 3D View requires a Web GL capable hardware system. To use this tool, just right click on a page and select Inspect elements. If Firefox finds WebGL-capability on the computer, a 3D button will appear at near bottom left corner on Firefox browser window. Click the button to start viewing page elements is 3D visualizations.
Other than 3D view capability, FIrefox 11 also bring some other interesting and useful features.
