Commenting on its Twitter integration, Mozilla said in a blog post, “The new Twitter search integration makes it easier to discover new topics, #hash,tags and @usernames. The feature will be limited to the English, Portuguese, Slovenian, and Japanese versions of Firefox, with more languages to come in future releases."
Mozilla said that the users can see some 3D examples of the technology on ibiblio.org. WebGL lets developers use standard JavaScript browser programming language to create interactive 3D graphics that run on the user's graphics hardware. Microsoft and Apple, however, consider WebGL a security risk. Internet Explorer 9 offers hardware acceleration based on Windows' latest DirectX APIs.
Android version of the browser comes with Master Password feature that helps against all the logins you use on your device. According to the Mozilla blog, "This will help your private info stay private if you ever share or lose your Android device. The update also lets Android users create icons that open to specified Web sites.”
