Firefox 13 Released, Debuts Brand New Tab Page and Homepage
MrSeb writes "Mozilla has officially released Firefox 13. Unlike Firefox 12 (or 11, or 10, or indeed many of the recent Firefox versions), Firefox 13 is an important release with a handful of much-needed features that are long overdue. There's a new New Tab Page launcher, with your favorite and most-used websites, and a new default home page with one-click access to Bookmarks, Settings, Add-ons, etc. SPDY is on by default, too, which should help ameliorate the perceived speed difference between Chrome and Firefox. Finally, the developer tools (Page Inspector, Style Inspector, etc.) have been tweaked and updated!"
Now it looks like Safari.
Last week it looked like Chrome.
I'm going back to Internet Explorer. Or maybe Mosaic.
Either that or I'm going to wait another week for Firefox 16 which will likely imitate Facebook.
Faster! Faster! Faster would be better!
Opera doesn't count, the only reason anybody used Opera was to say the used Opera, then turn their nose up and storm off in a huff. Everybody who knew better used a real browser like Netscape Communicator.

Okay, that's great, but what are the much-needed features that they added?
This Space Intentionally Left Blank
I'll wait until tomorrow and get FF14

The OS already has a perfectly fine task-switching mechanism.
Let me guess, a GIMP developer?
Seriously. Who pays for a web browser?
A couple things have changed while you were in your apparent coma: nearly 3,000 people were killed and World Trade Centers 1, 2, 3 and 7 were destroyed in a terrorist attack on the United States 10.5 years ago and desktop Opera has been free for roughly 12 years now.
Welcome back.
People will pass up steak once a week, for crap every day.
