Mozilla makes new changes to latest Firefox version
Official video for new firefox
If you have been using and updating your Firefox browser recently, it might have attracted your attention, Mozilla's new design changes and addition of customization to its famous browser.
Rather than a refreshed interface, we see some major relocations here in new 29 version. The long stayed Menu has been moved to right corner like in Chrome and they have added Customization to menu. And the new tab design we have been seeing since 25 version has taken a some sleek and smooth change. Mozilla claims this is the most customizable and Elegant Firefox yet. But I have my doubts about this new changes as it looks more closer to current Google Chrome browser from design point of view and i dont know why they have done it. With Internet explorer already way behind which was hit by security problems(Microsoft fixed it via security update already), probably Mozilla's new update comes at big time. But they are bit behind the more popular Chrome. They have announced the new version through their Blog post
Quote from official blog announcement- "In the nearly 10 years since we first launched Firefox, it has grown to be the trusted and most customizable browser of choice for half a billion people worldwide.
We reimagined and redesigned Firefox to reflect how you use the Web today and we are excited to introduce many features including an elegant and fun design, new menu, customization mode and an enhanced Firefox Sync service powered by Firefox Accounts."
