Mozilla have officially launched Firefox 23 for Windows, Linux, Android and Mac. The improvements include the addition of a share button, mixed content blocker, and network monitor on the desktop side. Also (and this is no small feature) Firefox 23 comes with a new logo!
The new desktop version was available on the organization’s FTP servers on August 5, but that was just the initial release. Firefox 23 has now officially been released over on Firefox.com and all existing users should be able to automatically upgrade to it. As always, the Android version is edging outslowly on Google Play.
The biggest addition is the new
share button and panel for the browser’s Social API. Developers can now let users share content with anyone in one click (Facebook users, for example, can use it to share content directly from Firefox, regardless of where they are on the Web). Next is the mixed content blocker, which is designed to prevent non-secure (HTTP) content on a website from being read or modified by attackers by blocking the non-secure contentfrom being compromised. If you didn’t know, mixed content occurs when a webpage containing a combination of both secure (HTTPS) and non-secure (HTTP) content is delivered over a secure data channel to the web browser. Additionally in this release, developers can finally use the new Network Monitor, this works by It breaks down individual website components, highlighting how long it takes for each to load.
