It's now possible to view Web pages you've previously visited
without being connected to the Internet.

Binary files (e.g. .wma and .rar files) served by servers incorrectly

The dialog that appears when installing themes and extensions has
been redesigned and is easier to use.

Disabling of form auto-completion is now working, the address bar
now remembers the edited text across tab switching, among many

Mozilla Firefox is a free, open-source and cross-platform web browser
for Windows, Linux, MacOS X and many other operating systems. It is
small, fast and easy to use, and offers many advantages over other web
browsers, such as tabbed browsing and the ability to block pop-up
windows.
Firefox also offers excellent bookmark and history management, and it
can be extended by developers using industry standards such as XML,
CSS, JavaScript, C++, etc. Many extensions are available.
