Firefox 7 is released !



Mozilla released a major update on its browser software Firefox . The latest version of Firefox is 7.0 .

New features are as follow :

  • [Performance] Drastically improved memory handling for certain use cases
  • [Performance] Added a new rendering backend to speed up Canvas operations on Windows systems
  • [Features] Bookmark and password changes now sync almost instantly when using Firefox Sync
  • [User Interface] The ‘http://’ URL prefix is now hidden by default
  • [CSS3] Added support for text-overflow: ellipsis
  • [Features] Added support for the Web Timing specification
  • [Features] Enhanced support for MathML
  • [Performance] The WebSocket protocol has been updated from version 7 to version 8
  • [Reporting] Added an opt-in system for users to send performance data back to Mozilla to improve future versions of Firefox
  • [Bugfix] Fixed several stability issues
  • [Bugfix] Fixed several security issues
Though these new shiny features are quite attractive, Mozilla must take steps to allow Add-Ons to be forward compatible, as more & more add-ons are disabled due to recent Firefox upgrades . We almost gave up Firefox , as it makes most of the useful Add-Ons not working anymore .
