Firefox 20 now available with improved download manager and private browsing
Firefox 20 is now available for download,
improving private browsing, apart from adding a new download manager and
new HTML5 features.
Firefox 20
now has better private browsing features, something users have been
asking for, for the past four years. The addition to private browsing
allows users to open a new private browsing window without the need to
close or change the active browsing session. The private browsing
feature is also making an appearance on the Android version of Firefox.
On the mobile version of the browser, the feature is available as per
tab basis.
On its official blog, Mozilla
says, “You can shop for a birthday gift in a private window with your
existing browsing session uninterrupted. You can also use a private
browsing window to check multiple email accounts simultaneously. We are
also proud to announce that Firefox for Android also supports private
browsing on a per tab basis. Firefox for Android
allows you to open a new private browsing tab during your current
browsing session, allowing you to switch between private and standard
tabs within the same browsing session.”
Firefox 20 also shows off a new Download
Manager. The Download Manager is present in the toolbar of the browser,
“so users can monitor, view and locate downloaded files without having
to switch to another window”. The Mozilla blog says, “The new Download
Manager makes downloading files with Firefox even easier. Firefox for
Android allows you to customize the shortcuts on the home screen with
your favorite or most frequently visited sites, so they are only a tap
away.”
Firefox for Android also adds support
for more devices with a less powerful processor running on the ARM v6
architecture. This includes smartphones like Samsung Galaxy Next, HTC
Aria, HTC Legend, Samsung Dart, Samsung Galaxy Pop and the Samsung
Galaxy Q. Mozilla says that with this it is bringing the Firefox
experience to 50 million more phones.
