Mozilla Firefox project (formerly Firebird, which was formerly Phoenix) is a redesign of Mozilla’s browser component, written using the XUL user interface language and designed to be cross-platform. It includes a popup blocker, tabbed browsing, a smarter search, hassle free downloading, and improved privacy and security.

Mozilla Firefox has the following other editions available: Mozilla Firefox for Linux and Mozilla Firefox for Mac OS X.
Latest Changes:

* Automated update to streamline product upgrades
* Faster browser navigation with improvements to back and forward button performance
* Drag and drop reordering for browser tabs
* Improvements to popup blocking
* Clear Private Data feature provides an easy way to quickly remove personal data through a menu item or keyboard shortcut
* Answers.com is added to the search engine list
* Improvements to product usability including descriptive error pages, redesigned options menu, RSS discovery, and “Safe Mode” experience
* Better accessibility including support for DHTML accessibility and assistive technologies such as the Window-Eyes 5.5 beta screen reader for Microsoft Windows. Screen readers read aloud all available information in applications and documents or show the i
* Report a broken Web site wizard to report Web sites that are not working in Firefox
* Better support for Mac OS X (10.2 and greater) including profile migration from Safari and Mac Internet Explorer
* New support for Web Standards including SVG, CSS 2 and CSS 3, and JavaScript 1.6
* Many security enhancements

As I said.. basically everything is improved. Nothing as major as 'no tabs - with tabs' or anything like that.

i like the new design

* Supersonicdarky thinks of jaking it...

Firefox is getting better now although it is still slower than my default browser.

If someday the extension I want is made available, there's no doubt I'm switching to Firefox
