Open source and non-profit giant Mozilla announced Firefox 9 yesterday. The browser is evolving with each release with support added for Tablets in the current version. The version includes up to 30 percent faster browsing with Type Interface, enhanced support for HTML 5, a new design layout having core focus and improvements that are optimized for tablet browsing on our Android devices. The company’s vision is driven to make the product free with the essence of making our web browsing experience the best. In our earlier posts we also discussed how people could contribute in improving Firefox by joining in the Firefox Aurora program for developers, users and people who rejoice the browser . Each of us can give opinions and get hands on opportunity to work with the browser even before the beta release.

Firefox 9 out beats the older Firefox 8 with Type Interface allowing heavy websites with images, scripts, games, and animated graphics to render and load effectively and fast.

The new design for Android devices is trendier with support for tabbed browsing with ease to close, view and switch over tabs. The tab visibility is beautiful with thumbnail preview and dynamic switchovers. Awesome bar is another feature that everyone of would like. It comprises of Firefox Sync that helps users to sync data between Firefox 9 for PC/Mac allowing Web History, Tabs, Passwords and Bookmarks to be easily accessible allowing information portability.

The Mozilla Blog Says there is more for Mobile Web to Evolve:

Google Bar’s Updated look has been finally integrated across major Google services, I saw Google India’s website showcasing it today. Google’s Official Blog had mentioned earlier that the overall revamp of design started 6 months back with the key criteria to enhance user experience by providing a simple and easy interface for users across its services. The new design includes changes to the top bar, which is available across all Google products. The left corner comprises of the Google Logo with a drop-down menu which is displayed when user hovers the mouse over the area, a centralized search box in the center allowing users to search specific to the Google service being used i.e. Google Maps, You Tube, Google + Etc. and the right corner with options for the users to see notifications on Google Plus, Share Options and user account management.

New Look:

Even if users have not signed-in they still may use all services within the Google home page, the menu is automatically displayed once the page loads. To access all items users can click on “More”.

The upper right corner consists of notification icons that display recent activity on your Google Plus account that displays people who have added you to their circles, stream activity and posts directly shared. To view these notifications you can simply click on the red box, it would be gray if you don’t have any notifications.

Another interesting feature is the share box, the best part about this feature is that it is not limited within Google Plus, it can be accessed across all Google services allowing the user with wider options to share and collaborate, one can choose the circles they would like to share with and have an option to add links, photos, videos and location.

The last option on the right is user account management which allows users to sign-out, switch or manage Google accounts by clicking on the picture and selecting the intended option.

Did you like the new changes ? Please share your views with us.
