Firefox 13 Released
Mozilla has released the latest version of their Firefox internet browser: Firefox 13. Aside from the usual bugfixes, they’ve added a most-visited page that pops up when you open a new tab, like Google Chrome.SPDY, which is a sort of successor to HTTP that makes browsing more secure and faster, is now enabled by default.
The new most-visited tab page, pictured above, is the biggest new feature. SPDY, as I mentioned before, is now support by default in Firefox 13, which will make browsing websites like Google and Twitter faster and more secure.
Changes:
- PDY protocol now enabled by default for faster browsing on supported sites
- Restored background tabs are not loaded by default for faster startup
- Smooth scrolling is now enabled by default
Developer:
- 72 total improvements to Page Inspector, HTML panel, Style Inspector, Scratchpad and Style Editor
- The column-fill CSS property has been implemented
- Experimental support for ECMAScript 6 Map and Set objects has been implemented
- Support for the CSS3 background-position property extended syntax has been added
- The :invalid pseudo-class can now be applied to the element
- The CSS turn unit is now supported
