That said, I didnвЂ™t experience issues and the upgrade was as smooth as previous editions. Not everyone will like the new theme and some add-ons are certain to break - developers should consult Australis and add-on compatibility. (IвЂ™m not counting Opera switching to Blink - that was a new browser rather than an update!)

Clicking a Web Notification will switch to the originating tab.ДЇirefox 29 is the most significant upgrade to any browser for some time.

Open Web App integration has been improved on mobile devices.

Memory management is generally better than other browsers.ДЄs well as the usual security fixes, we have also received: ItвЂ™s been fast on Windows for some time but the Mac version feels better too.

The Style Editor supports CSS property auto-completion and source maps.ДЇirefoxвЂ™s speed is undiminished.

The console API is now available to web workers.

CSS3 transform previews are available in the Inspector by hovering over the property.

The console has several display improvements, such as showing arrays inline.

The network monitor shows pie charts illustrating the quantity and size of all resources with timings for both empty and primed caches.The developer tools are evolving rapidly with several stunning new featuresвЂ¦ Malformed JSON strings parsed by JSON.parse() now return more detailed error messages with line and column numbers.The ECMAScript Internationalization API is supported.This was supposed to happen in earlier releases but itвЂ™s definitely there now. The gamepad API has been finalized and enabled.There are several new features for JavaScript developers to drool over: To enable them, set to true in about:config. Native CSS variables are available as an experimental technology.It must be enabled in about:config by setting to true. A new will-change property hints when something will animate.Flexbox layouts can now use visibility: collapse.An image type of is supported for border-image.IвЂ™m not sure why it took so long almost every responsive layout uses the property and even WebKit dropped the prefix! Other minor updates include: The -moz prefix has finally been dropped from the box-sizing property. Support for input type='color' (has anyone ever needed this?)Д«ut thereвЂ™s still no date control on the desktop browser - shame! CSS Updates.To switch, you need to unpair all devices and register for a new synchronization account using Firefox 29. The old synchronization will continue to work for some time.

(I had to wait half an hour for the verification email so there may be a few teething problems.) Perhaps Mozilla should have adopted third-party accounts from Google, Twitter, or Facebook, but itвЂ™s better than before. The synchronization system has been overhauled and you now need a Firefox account with a verified email address and password. I often experienced problems, the pairing process could be cumbersome and it was never as seamless as Chrome. New Firefox SyncДЇirefox can synchronize open tabs, browsing history, bookmarks, passwords and form data across desktop and mobile installations.

If you donвЂ™t like it, install the Classic Theme Restorer add-on and youвЂ™ll be back to where you started.ДЇinally, I liked the product tour which appears to interact with the browser interface - IвЂ™ll be interested to find out how that was done. IвЂ™m not yet sure whether itвЂ™s an improvement or simply different but the enhanced customization is welcome. Mozilla has resisted the temptation to merge the two boxes like other vendors - I canвЂ™t say it bothers me either way.ДЄustralis has quirks. My only criticism is theyвЂ™re a little too rounded and distinctly different from the square-cornered address and search boxes. I like the concept and itвЂ™s easier to locate the tab youвЂ™re using. Individual tabs are separated by a subtle line - only the active tab is given an obvious rounded appearance. The only item which cannot be moved is the hamburger itself a slightly unusual decision given that users have been clicking the top-left menu for three years and may prefer it there.

However, itвЂ™s far more customizable and icons can be moved anywhere - even to the classic menu and toolbars (except the add-on bar which has been scrapped). These can lead to slide-out sub-menus when clicked.

#Mozilla firefox 29 android#

The main menu is a set of icons similar to the Android version. ItвЂ™s been delayed a few times but the new Firefox theme has arrived.ДЄt first glance it looks similar to Chrome with its rounded tabs and hamburger icon, but youвЂ™ll soon discover differences. That version was beset by speed issues and add-on incompatibilities - has Mozilla learned from their mistakes?вЂ¦ New Australis Theme

#Mozilla firefox 29 update#

The number may not seem significant, but this is the biggest update since Firefox 4.0 was released in March 2011. Firefox 29 was released on April 29, 2014.
