In his blog post on Friday, Johnathan Nightingale, the vice-president of Mozilla's Firefox team, said that there were just 1000 active daily testers for the beta build of Firefox for Windows 8. Now a former member of the browser's development team is defending that decision while at the same time saying that it does not mean Windows 8 itself is in trouble. With the release of each newer version the tool has run more and more smoothly, allowing it to compete head to head with its main competitors.Įach newer version of Firefox has definitely presented important changes and improved its service, allowing it to no longer be seen as a simple alternative to Internet Explorer and Google Chrome and to become the main choice for millions of users around the world.Last week, Mozilla decided to put development of its Firefox web browser made specifically for the Modern user interface in Windows 8 on hold indefinitely. The speed with which websites are loaded, and resource use, have also seen improvements, therefore avoiding the excessive use of memory found on previous versions. Performance and stability have, once again, been improved with better JavaScript and rendering engines, increased HTML5 compatibility, independent processing for the browser’s add-ons, and much more. Its latest releases have centered on improving technical aspects, as its appearance continues being pretty much the same as that of previous versions. Among its main features are the option of being able to browse several websites at the same time thanks to its tab system, all while supporting most existing web standards as well as offering a personalized experience thanks to its extensions, add-ons, and themes that have been created by the community and which allow you to expand its functions. Mozilla continues working on more improvements for its star product: the free and open source browser, Firefox.
