Mozilla shares its vision for Firefox 4

Firefox is one of the most heart-ening of success stories of open source,up there with MySQL and Apache,It has managed to break internet Explorer's synonymy of internet with internet explorer.So when Mozilla shares details of any new version,it is bound to be something exciting.

Of Late,fireFox has Fallen behind in speed with Chrome 4(now 5..no,wait 6!),Safari 4 and Opera 10.5 taking the lead.Being far a head of IE 8 is no consolation,and with IE9 posting slightly better scores in Java Script test than FireFox3.5,Mozilla has reason to Worry.Look,one which makes ample use of Windows Vista and 7's Aero effects.

FireFox 4 will also have some amazing new features such as application tabs(which will work like Chrome pinned tabs),a New addon manager,interigated developer tools and better HTML5 support.

Those wating for 3.7,there is both good news and bad.While FireFox 3.7 will be dropped in favour Fire Fox 4,out-of-process Plugins,One of the most awaited features of 3.7 will come with FireFox3.6.4 due shortly.out of Process Plugins stabilize the browser,ensuring that it doesn't crash even if a Plugin Crashes.
