Only a few weeks ago, Firefox 10 was released as a major upgrade to the web browser, albeit with fewer new features. The main improvements are performance and "under the hood" tweaks.

Note that there are now only 6 weeks between major Firefox releases. Recent new additions include a Permissions Manager which, by typing about:permissions in to your address bar, you can set permissions for pop-up windows, cookies, passwords and more. Performance is improved and additional support for HTML5 is included. Firefox 7 offered a number of improvements to memory management, a smaller memory footprint, awesome bar changes and more under-the-hood improvements.

Firefox 12 is here. However, changes are minimal. You get improved video controls and UAC support, but most of the other improvements are under the hood.
