All New Features In Mozilla Firefox For Windows And Android

Firefox 35 was been put on to the release channel yesterday and nothing big coming in. The major feature they have added up is that they now provide a chat room like interface for Firefox Hello that lets you share a link and wait for someone to join the conversation. This is a very good add on for the feature. The new version also makes it easy to get Firefox Marketplace as it comes in with a new button. And coming to the Android, from now on the downloads can be tracked through Android's download manager and a search bar has been added to the network error page. These are the major updates with Firefox 35 there are some other minor updates for the developers but nothing to discussed in detail.



Firefox - Desktop


Firefox Hello Chat Room

This is a much better interface than the others and they have also avoided the very annoying ringing that followed an invite to chat. You can share your link and wait for someone to join the conversation. You will also get a desktop notification when someone accepts and joins your chat room.



Firefox Marketplace Button

This is another major improvement brought in. They have added a new button for Firefox Market place. As show in the screenshot below it is a small rocket that you need to drag out and place next to the URL bar from the customize menu. You can also notice that the Firefox is now adding buttons while doing away with its text-based menu options. Even the customize menu that was introduced a few versions back has more graphical UI.





Native H264 Support On OS X 10.6 And Above

H264 is a proprietary video encoding format for playing MP4 (MPEG) files and native support for it has been added to Firefox for OS X versions, as old as 10.6

Firefox - Android


Search Bar On Network Error Page

This is one good update and made things easy even if it didn't connect to internet. The search bar is now a part of the network error page and the plus point is that it is autofilled with the URL you failed to reach and can go on searching again by tapping the search button.



Android Download Manager

This feature has a few bugs in it, we guess so. When you actually initiate a download in Firefox you can view the progress in the notification center. There are also options for pause and cancel. But during test we found that pause meant cancel. Think there is a bug in it. And probably hope to be fixed up soon!!
