“If you’re a Firefox fan and you happen to be in the middle of a
long Thanksgiving weekend, you can take advantage of some new
updates. In February of this year, Mozilla announced its shift to a
new, rapid release cycle, and the company has stuck to the plan.
You can now get Firefox 8, which Mozilla has made very clear is a
major upgrade of the browser. Also, all Ubuntu 11.10 users can now
upgrade their default browsers to Firefox 8 (by running the
Software Update app through Settings), and Firefox for Android is
out in an early version with its new native user interface instead
of the previous XUL-based version.”
