Download Firefox 8 for Windows and Mac

Mozilla has seeded new version of Firefox i,e Mozilla Firefox 8 for Windows and Mac. Firefox 8 comes with many bugs fixes, security fixes, performance enhancements and much more. Firefox is not directly avaialble to download from Mozilla’s official website as it is scheduled to release on Tuesday, November the 8th. But you can download Firefox 8 from Mozilla’s FTP server right now.

Features, improvements and add-on in Firefox 8 include:

Add-ons installed by third party programs are now disabled by default
Added a one-time add-on selection dialog to manage previously installed add-ons
Added Twitter to the search bar
Added a preference to load tabs on demand, improving start-up time when windows are restored
Improved tab animations when moving, reordering, or detaching tabs
Improved performance and memory handling
Added CORS support for cross-domain textures in WebGL
Added support for HTML5 context menus
Added support for insertAdjacentHTML
Improved CSS hyphen support for many languages
Improved WebSocket support
Fixed several stability issues

One of the main reason why people prefer other browsers such as Google chrome and Safari over Firefox is the performance issue. Firefox consumes much more system’s memory than other browsers and that becomes annoying on slower and older machines. Let’s see if Firefox 8 is more faster than previous versions.
