Firefox 6.0.1 Final-Meet the new Firefox

*Firefox 6* is already here, only months after the release of version 5.
Mozilla seems to follow the same strategy as Google does with *Chrome*,
creating different development channels to release early versions of their
browser as soon as they're available and keep the final one updated as
often as possible. The most outstanding improvement in Firefox 6 is *speed*.
The new Firefox is noticeably faster when loading web pages and, according to
Mozilla, also lighter on RAM memory. In terms of design and appearance,
however, Firefox 6 doesn't change that much from the previous version. The
interface is pretty much the same as Firefox 5, with a minimalist toolbar and
a big orange button on the top left corner to access the program's menus.
Besides those visible changes, Firefox 6 also includes a few interesting
enhancements under the hood: the web browser engine supports *CSS animations*
and has also improved support for *HTML 5*, XHR, MathML and others. The
JavaScript, memory and networking performance have also been optimized, and
spell checking has been improved for some languages. Other remarkable new
features in Firefox 6 are the new option in the Privacy menu to *opt out of
tracking* by advertising networks and other websites, and the Firefox Sync
utility to backup and synchronize browser data across all your computers.
*Firefox 6 features optimized support for HTML5 and CSS animations, new
privacy and security options and above all, an enhanced browsing speed and
management of system resources.*Download *Firefox 6.0.1 Final* in Softonic
