Mozilla adds hardware acceleration to Firefox 3.7

,----[ Quote ]
| Direct2D is similar to Direct3D in that it 
| allows the software to make calls directly 
| to the graphics card. However, whereas 
| Direct3D is concerned with three-dimensional 
| geometry, Direct2D is designed explicitly 
| for rendering two-dimensional objects. That 
| difference aside, the performance 
| characteristics between the APIs are similar 
| in that scenes of greater complexity rely 
| more heavily on the processor. When it comes 
| to browsing, that means complex sites see 
| relatively little acceleration, while 
| simpler sites have more free CPU power to 
| render faster.
