Firefox 8 is out! Review in few sentences.

Version 8.0 of our favourite browser has been released. The folks from Mozilla are following the fast release cycle. Soon I will be moving to Firefox 9 beta but I thought it would be nice to make a post about what is new in Firefox 8 is a few short sentences.

1. Again there are no changes in design so it safe to update. My themes are compatible. Hope you like them.
2. Speed has been slightly improved compared to version 7. It feels a bit faster.
3. Guys from Mozilla fixed some bugs

What's new in Firefox 8:
The latest version of Firefox has the following changes:
  • Add-ons installed by third party programs are now disabled by default
  • Added a one-time add-on selection dialog to manage previously installed add-ons
  • Added Twitter to the search bar for select locales. Additional locale support will be added in the future
  • Added a preference to load tabs on demand, improving start-up time when windows are restored
  • Improved performance and memory handling when using <audio> and <video> elements
  • Added CORS support for cross-domain textures in WebGL
  • Added support for HTML5 context menus
  • Added support for insertAdjacentHTML
  • Improved CSS hyphen support for many languages
  • Improved WebSocket support
  • Fixed several stability issues
  • Fixed several security issues
Please see the complete list of changes in this version. Web and extension developers should also view the curated list of platform changes. You may also be interested in the list of changes in the previous version.


That's basically all users. Changes are not that big but I guess Mozilla is trying to take small steps in Firefox development. I still think that this should be version 4.0.4 but hey I'm just a theme developer. I can't do anything about this.

Have a nice day! : )

Donations help future support and faster theme releases

Hi!
Users I've enabled a contribution option for my themes.When you visit their download pages you'll see a contribute button below the Add to Firefox button.Contributing will help to continue the support of all 10 themes which I own.How am I going to use the money?

1.Contributions help for faster future releases and faster bug fixes.In other words it's giving me motivation to work harder,fix bugs and add design improvements.

2.I'm running a 6 year old machine and right now I don't have money to buy a new one.This one is really really slow I'd be nice to buy a new one with Windows 7 so that I can test the themes.

3.Education.Education is important,right?I'm young and I'd be nice if I have money for education.Soon I'll be going to University and it'd be nice to invest more money in education.

Sorry if my English is bad.I hope you like my themes.I'll try to support them for future versions of Firefox.Donations help! : )
Have a nice day! : )
