Mozilla has unleashed the latest version of Firefox for desktop as well as Android devices and has incorporated a spate of improvements in the browser. The enhancements drawn in are directed towards privacy, downloads and developers.
Augmentations made to private browsing allow users to concurrently open up a new window, while their current sessions remain unclosed as well as uninterrupted. Consumers will even be able to sign in to and access several e-mail accounts at the same time. The security element is also deemed possible on devices based on the said platform, wherein it is carried out through tabs. Owners will be able to switch between tabs within a same session.
With the addition of a new and improved Download Manager located on the toolbar, users can easily find, check and keep a track of whatever they have saved. This can be accomplished without having to open up a new window. Check out the demonstration video embedded at the end for more clarity. As for the mobile browser, shortcuts can be tailored according to what websites consumers consider important or pages they frequent most often.
Developers will be glad to hear about increased levels of support for them, which includes getUserMedia to enable speedy as well as easy coding for programs intended to access cameras or microphones. In addition to this, a toolbox has been provided consisting of resources for coders. It also offers advice on easy methods to switch between various tools that they use. In terms of visual effects, Canvas Blend Modes permits them to personalize already existing images. They can give out instructions to guide Canvas around how they want the picture to look.
Back in September, the company had released a beta version for phones that contained ARMv6 processors. Now, it has finally introduced support for these chipsets which are present in devices like the Samsung Galaxy Next, HTC Aria and Legend amongst others. The tool even allows synchronization between desktops and mobiles, so that consumers don’t lose track of what they were surfing through.
Potential users can download Mozilla Firefox from the official website and those who want the browser present on their Android devices, can lay their hands on it through the Play store.
