Firefox 8.0 Released

Posted by Soulskill on from the almost-caught-up-to-ie's-version-number dept.

Today Mozilla announced the launch of Firefox 8.0. The headline features this time around include adding Twitter as a search bar option, tab loading tweaks, and the default disabling of addons installed by third-parties. "Sometimes you download third-party software and are surprised to discover that an add-on has also installed itself in your browser without asking permission. At Mozilla, we think you should be in control, so we are disabling add-ons installed by third parties without your permission and letting you pick the ones you want to keep." Here are the release notes and download links.

    If something is so important that you feel the need to post it on the internet... It probably isn't that important.
