With Windows 8 at the doorsteps, many software manufactures have come up with new products or improved versions of their existing products to suit the Windows 8 environment. One such product is Firefox from Mozilla that is now available in the touch avatar for Windows 8. The new test version of Firefox has been released by the company.
What’s new?
A number of new features and functions are packed into the new Firefox Aurora version 26, which will ultimately become the beta and final version of the web browser. In a blog post, Mozilla said, "It has a tile-based Firefox Start experience and supports Firefox Sync, Windows 8 touch and swipe gestures, Snapped and Fill views, and Windows Share integration, all delivered with a streamlined, modern, and beautiful interface.”
The Overall Experience
The Aurora packs a punch with the availability of 3D graphics with WebGl interface, hardware accelerated video and also a brand new asm.js technology, which does the function of speeding up some of the JavaScript software. Earlier, the H.264 video codec was not supported by Mozilla but now playing of H.264 video is possible.
Improvements In The Coming Days
Mozilla also mentioned, “Over the coming weeks, we'll be almost exclusively focused on improving performance and responsiveness. This is still a preview and while most of the features are very nearly complete, we know there are bugs.”
Voices Raised By Google And Mozilla
Microsoft earlier planned to make Internet Explorer the supreme web browser, by restricting features on other browsers like the Chrome and Firefox for the Windows 8 environment; but it is a completely different ball game now. For the Windows RT OS, the restrictions are still in place. Mozilla and Google counteracted to the restrictions saying that when it comes to performance and security, their browsers have no match against the Internet Explorer.
With the Windows 8 at the doorstep, Microsoft has been boasting about tons of Windows 8 features that are going to give the users a mind blowing Windows 8 experience. Microsoft hopes that the Windows 8 turns out to be a huge hit and hopes that users will hop on to the Windows 8 owing to the unique Windows 8 features at hand, which promise a one of kind OS experience. Microsoft hopes that the successor to the Windows 7 OS turns to be a huge success and not like the Windows Vista debacle.
