Title: Mozilla unveils Firefox plans for year ahead
Post by: Simon on February 13, 2012, 21:22

Mozilla has laid out its roadmap for Firefox for the next year, touting add-on tweaks and Windows 8 compatibility.

Community manager Asa Dotzler noted that "all browsers do more" these days, stressing that this year Mozilla will focus on making Firefox more stable and responsive.

A new hang detector, as well as improvements to cycle collectors mean "Firefox pauses and hangs will be a thing of the past," he wrote.

This year will also see a Windows 8 Metro beta, more web apps, the roll out of a theme refresh and a host of smaller features.

Chrome is slowly taking over in what I use - I don't think yet another Firefox update will tempt me much.

For what it's worth, the latest version of Comodo Dragon Internet Browser (v17.3) (http://www.comodo.com/home/browsers-toolbars/browser.php) was released yesterday.  It's Chrome, but with a truly stupid amount of added security.

No, not at all.  It seems pretty civilised.  Plus, if you can't afford the £9.95 that Amazon are currently asking for a 3 user/1 year licence of F-Secure, registering your FREE browser with Comodo will result in an offer of a 3/1 licence of their Internet Security Suite Pro 2012 for a very reasonable USD 4.99.
