23 Oct 2010

Firefox 4 ,with sync and panorama ,provides a faster and much more personalized browsing experience.

New look

Firefox 4 beta comes in a sleeker and easier to use look with a firefox menu button on top left and new location of tabs.The tabs have been given top visual priority.

SYNC

Found an interesting website just when you were about to leave??Browser is now mobile!Using sync you can access your saved passwords, history ,open tabs and all other customizations using any computer or mobile device that uses firefox.For this you need to create a Firefox Sync account.

PANORAMA

firefox-panorama

Firefox introduces panorama to organize tabs.You can drag tabs into tabspaces to make groups or piles and then open or expand respectively to navigate through them.Groups can be named, expanded or squeezed and managed quite visually.This helps to keep distractions out of sight for ‘clutter-free’ browsing.
