Firefox 10 released

    The final version of Firefox 10 has been released.

    What's New:

    • The “Forward” button on the navigation panel now does not appear until you go back to the page (for this the button should be adjacent to the address bar);
    • Most add-ons are now compatible with Firefox by default;
    • Added anti-aliasing support for WebGL;
    • Added support for CSS3 3D-Transforms;
    • Added support for an element designed to isolate bidirectional text, as well as its corresponding CSS properties;
    • Added full-screen APIs that allow you to create web applications that work in full-screen mode;
    • Added IndexedDB API, allowing better compliance with the specification;
    • A tool has been added to inspect the content of a web page with highlighting content, which includes a new inspector for CSS styles;
    • The Orion code editor has been added to the simple JavaScript editor built into Firefox, allowing developers to edit more than just plain text. The Orion code editor has syntax highlighting and many other features that make writing JavaScript code easier;
    • Fixed an issue where, for some Mac OS X users, after installing the latest Java release from Apple, Firefox might crash when closing a tab with a Java applet;
    • Fixed an issue where some users had a browser crash when moving bookmarks.


    With the release of the 10th version, the developers also added a new type of release client - ESR (Extended Support Release). By analogy with other products, ESR versions are primarily aimed at corporate clients who are not satisfied with software that is independently updated every 6 weeks. The ESR release is a stable version of Firefox that will be updated every 7 releases of the “regular” version. Automatic updates for the ESR release will take place exclusively in case of detection and correction of bugs.
