The final version of Firefox 11 has been released with some new features by Mozilla. Up until now, you could only sync bookmarks, history, preference, passwords and tabs, but with the new Firefox, which is available for several platforms, including Windows, Mac OS X, Linux and Android, you are allowed to sync extensions across your devices.
The new add-ons sync feature can be enabled by using the same tool that used to sync bookmarks and history. Say, you have installed ‘Youtube Ad Blocker’ extension on your Mac. If you enable the sync, Youtube Ad Blocker add-on will automatically be added to Firefox Windows version. Note that, you will have to log into your Firefox account to activate the sync feature.
Users who are thinking of switching to Firefox browser from Google Chrome, you’ll be happy to know that Mozilla has included the ability to import bookmarks, history and other data from Google Chrome browser. You can now switch smoothly to Firefox 11 with all the data you care about migrated from Chrome to Firefox in a jiffy.
For web developers, so many new things are added to this version including new Style Editor and viewing the web page in 3D using the Page inspector 3D view. The new Style Editor provides a lot easier way to make changes to the elements, and then it also allows you to save the file on your computer within a mouse click.
To view a webpage in 3D, click the ‘Inspect Element’ in the right click context menu and then click the 3D button in the toolbar, and you’ll be presented with a whole new perspective on web page structure. Talking about the interface, there hasn’t been much news on the interface front since Firefox 4 but we got to see a small change (Forward Button Removed) in Firefox 10.
If you run Firefox browser on your PC, it’s likely that you have automatically been upgraded to Firefox 11. If it didn’t happen, you can dive in by going to the Help > About Firefox and check for the updates. You can download the latest version of Firefox browser from the following links:
