Firefox 8 will only be released for public download Tomorrow but our sources had discovered that the popular web browser is already online and available for download Today!

The Firefox web browser is considered to be one of the world most popular web browsers as it’s free, fast and open sourced. Starting from Mozilla (which was once linked to Netscape) and growing over the years, Firefox is considered among the best web browsers Today for professional and general use. With hundreds of extensions and add-ons it offers a lot of customization and personalization.
During the past years Microsoft Internet Explorer had been loosing a lot of its market shares to Firefox and Google chrome.

The newly released Firefox 8 is believed to make the “battle of the browsers” even worse as it brings in many long waited for features such as:

  • The ability to search twitter directly from the search bar.
  • Add-ons installed by third-party programs are now disabled by default
  • Added a one-time add-on selection dialog to manage previously installed add-ons
  • Load tabs on demand during startup.
  • Added a preference to load tabs on demand, improving start-up time when windows are restored
  • Improved tab animations when moving, reordering, or detaching tabs
  • Improved performance and memory handling
  • Added CORS support for cross-domain textures in WebGL
  • Added support for HTML5 context menus
  • Added support for insertAdjacentHTML
  • Improved CSS hyphen support for many languages
  • Improved WebSocket support
  • Fixed several stability issues

As said earlier, the formal release date is Tomorrow which means that from Tomorrow the formal Firefox site will allow downloading Firefox 8. If you can’t wait and want it now then you can download it directly from Mozilla’s FTP servers:
