Firefox 8 released

[Development] Posted Nov 8, 2011 19:59 UTC (Tue) by corbet

The announcement of a new Firefox release on the Mozilla blog does not mention a version number anywhere, but the actual release calls itself "Firefox 8." The headline feature appears (sadly) to be a Twitter search option. Beyond that, this release disables add-ons by third-party programs and adds a "load tabs on demand" preference option along with improved performance and a number of security fixes; see the release notes for details.
