Firefox respects your privacy and safeguards your security with new features, like Do Not Track and Content Security Policy. Firefox also includes performance enhancements to make everything faster, from start-up time to page-load speed, and the performance of Web applications and games. Depending on the benchmark you choose, Firefox is anywhere between two and six times faster. Vroom!
New HTML5 capabilities in Firefox enable developers to create fun Web apps and websites. Firefox HTML5 support includes hardware accelerated, high-definition video (WebM), 3D graphics, offline data storage, professional typography, touchscreen interfaces, the Mozilla Audio API to help create visual experiences for sound and more. Firefox brings all this to the Web to allow developers to build the next generation of amazing, unpredictable, world-changing Web applications.
Only a few weeks ago, Firefox 5 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.
Firefox 6 offered small number of new features (there are only 6 weeks between each release). One new addition is the 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.
The brand new Firefox 10 offers much improved extension management, silent updates, improved location bar and more.
