Even though the next version of the Firefox is first planned to be released tomorrow you can get it right now.
The installation file for Firefox 6 is in fact already posted on Mozilla’s FTP server, although the website still refers to version 5 as the latest release.
We have tested the secret installation and have been using the fully functional Firefox 6 today.
Get Firefox 6 in EN-US for Windows , Mac or Linux (All other languages Windows, Mac or Linux).
So what is in the package?
It promises to be 20% faster than the already greatly improved Version 5. It also gets a facelift and a speed boost on Android. New features in Firefox 6 should also include being faster startup and new tools for Web developers. Finally it is highlighting domain names in the address bar – both Chrome and Microsoft’s Internet Explorer 9 do something similar by boldfacing domain names.
The version number has now rushed up to 6 but it does not mean that there are huge changes and improvements in the latest version. Mozilla has chosen to release new versions much faster than before, which is underlined by the fact that Firefox 5 came out in June just months after version 4 was released. If this continues we’ll see version 7 pretty soon!
