Beijing Time November 7 News, according to foreign media reports, according to the original plan, Firefox browser developers Mozilla will be released this Tuesday (November 8), the official release of Firefox version 8.0. Firefox version 8.0 will add a number of new features compared to the existing version.

Mozilla said earlier that it would speed up the pace of Firefox's update by releasing a performance-stable upgraded version about every six weeks. Firefox 7.0 release time for the end of September this year. Some Firefox fans have said that the new version of Firefox has been updated too quickly and appears to have "no real meaning".

Although Firefox 8 was officially released in Tuesday, in accordance with past practice, Mozilla released a formal version a few days ago, will basically no longer make a final version of the big changes to the company's FTP server, for the old Firefox users to download the installation of early use.

It is reported that Firefox 8 new features include: In the search box to integrate the Twitter search function (Note: Google search by default, click on the Search bar in the Drop-down menu, you can see Yahoo, Wikipedia, Bing and Twitter search services), Improved tag management capabilities and enhanced support for HTML 5 technical standards, etc.

But the most obvious improvement of Firefox 8 is the increased security management of the installation of Third-party Add-ons (add-on). In all versions prior to Firefox 8, Firefox did not check its security when installing third party add-ons. Firefox 8 strengthens security management in this area. The first time a user starts Firefox 8 o'clock, you can screen or activate a separate add-on.

In addition, Firefox 8 users can choose Browser startup, only load their own selected labels, so that the browser can speed up the start speed. This feature needs to be set by the user.
