Firefox 13 now available for download

[JMH]

Although its official release date is not scheduled until this Tuesday, Firefox 13 is now available on the Mozilla website.

Notable among the upgraded features in Firefox 13 are redesigned Home and New Tab pages. The Home page – accessible rather intuitively by entering about:home in the address field – allows easy access to settings and content such as downloads, bookmarks, history, add-ons, sync, and preference. Not exactly a game-changer, but a useful convenience nonetheless.

[h=1]Mozilla patches updater bugs with Firefox 13, plays catch-up on new tabs[/h]

Mozilla today released Firefox 13, an upgrade that patched 13 vulnerabilities, including two critical flaws in the browser's update service.
Firefox also joined its rivals in finally adding a graphical "new tab" page that shows the most-frequent destinations.


Ten of the vulnerabilities patched Tuesday were rated "critical" by the open-source developer, while two were tagged "high" and one as "moderate." Mozilla uses a four-step threat scoring system, with critical the most dire.


Two of the critical bugs were in the updater and update service used by Firefox 12 on Windows, Mozilla acknowledged in an advisory.
