Firefox 6 almost ready2011-07-14 The Mozilla Foundation has released Firefox five and already a Firefox six beta is available, with Firefox seven close behind. When the Mozilla Foundation related back in Apr 2011 that this was to hurry up Firefox development, it obviously was not joking. The foundation released Firefox five only a few weeks back, version six is in beta, and Firefox seven is in ongoing development in the new halo channel. With the release cycle for new Firefox versions sped up noticeably, each brand new version of the browser is incrementally better than its precedent. Hence if we wish to sound correct of where Firefox is heading, it is more handy to discuss how Firefox seven will shape up than simply look at Firefox six. There are a bunch of features that'll be introduced in either Firefox six or seven, the most fascinating of which are : Panorama changes In Firefox four and five users were given the choice to group tabs together into logical groups using the Panorama feature. It's a cool feature that added a new layer to handling multiple sets of fave sites, but frequently added to system expenses when opening Firefox for the 1st time. Firefox six and seven will permit users to start up Firefox without loading these groups on start up. For users that already have many tab groups this may be a serious saving when starting. Site-specific settings As users spend augmenting time online it also becomes tougher to manage what info is shared with sites. Firefox six adds a new window which makes it faster to control individual authorizations for sites. Therefore for instance, users can set which sites can store cookies on their P.C or which can use stored passwords. Memory use Firefox seven is also predicted to slim down its memory use. The prevailing development version of Firefox seven allegedly shows reductions of nearly fifty percent in memory use. Officially, Mozilla announces that Firefox seven is probably going to use around thirty percent less memory hungry than prior versions. Either way, that bodes well for users. Better synchronisation With Firefox available now on cell-phones as well as on desktop Computers , the requirement for decent synchronisation is important. Firefox seven will include a brand new version of its synchronisation software which may synchronise passwords and bookmarks virtually instantly between different copies of Firefox. More developer tools Firefox six will also go out of its way to help developers using the platform. From Firefox six there'll be an internet developer menu available which should include common debugging tools but also a new scratchpad. The scratchpad will make it simpler for developers to build and test Javascript tools in the browser. There is also going to be changes to the console which developers will have more control of, including having the ability to run it in another window. |
