Mozilla Firefox Version 25.0 Released

[Corrine]

Mozilla sent Firefox Version 25.0 to the release channel. The update is a stability and feature update with five (5) critical three (3) high and two (3) moderate security updates.

One "new" feature that I do not like is that the "find bar" is no longer shared between tabs. As a result, if searching for text on multiple tabs, it is necessary to open it on each tab. As a result, it is necessary to open the find bar manually when searching multiple tabs.

The keyboard shortcut Ctrl + F opens the find bar. Another option is to install an extension that enhances search options. There are two extensions that I am aware of that include the search all tabs function along with additional functionality:

• FindBar Tweak
• Hugo

Update

To get the update now, select "Help" from the Firefox menu at the upper left of the browser window, then pick "About Firefox." Mac users need to select "About Firefox" from the Firefox menu.

If you do not use the English language version, Fully Localized Versions are available for download.

Mozilla Firefox Release Notes

Looks like two fixes have been released with the FF25 update, a group of security updates and a bug where the page thumbnails wouldn't load in a new tab.
