Firefox 35 Arrives With MP4 Playback On Mac, Android Download Manager Support
An anonymous reader writes: Mozilla today launched Firefox 35 for Windows, Mac, Linux, and Android. Major additions to the browser include room-based Firefox Hello conversations, H.264 (MP4 files) playback on OS X, and integration with the Android download manager. Mozilla has opened up the Firefox Marketplace for the desktop, currently in beta. While Firefox Marketplace is already available on Firefox OS and Firefox for Android, the company is now asking users to help test apps on Windows, Mac, and Linux. Full changelogs: desktop and Android.
...that Firefox is still my favorite browser. I really don't care for any of the rest, but my gods, what kinds of drugs are they doing over at the Mozilla compound?
Ignorance killed the cat. Curiosity was framed.
And I'd like to follow up by asking the Firefox developers if they can add something like a "Features" tab under (perhaps) "Tools->Add-ons" to allow users to easily en/disable the various (non web-browsing) Firefox features, like WebIDE, WebRTC, Marketplace, Social, Taskbar Lists, Geo, Beacon, UI Tour, yada, yada, yada... -- so I don't have to scan through "about:config" looking for new things ending in ".enabled" (and the like) to set to "false" with every new Firefox release. Thank you in advance.
It must have been something you assimilated. . . .
Firefox is also a smaller download, a smaller install, starts faster, runs JavaScript faster, allows plugins on the mobile version, and allows users to run their own sync server, compared with Chrome.
Mozilla's work is really shining these days. Firefox is a better browser by every metric I can think of.
