Firefox 8 Beta disponibile

• Twitter Search: Firefox Beta adds Twitter as a default search option
  to make searching #hashtags and @usernames easier. (Currently available
  in English, Portuguese and Slovenian. More languages will be added in
  future releases.)

• Restore tabs on demand: Users can choose to load tabs only when
  selected, resulting in faster start-up times when windows with lots of
  tabs are restored. Windows users can find this option in the Firefox
  Menu, under Options, on the General tab. Mac users can find this option
  in the Firefox Menu, under Preferences, in the General tab.

• Enhanced control of add-ons:
  Users will receive a one-time notification to review and confirm third
  party add-ons they want to keep, disable or delete. When Firefox starts
  and finds that a third-party program has installed an add-on, Firefox
  will disable the add-on until the user has explicitly opted in, giving
  users better control over their Web experience.

• Tab animations: Firefox makes it easier to re-order and tear off tabs with animated tab movement.

• CORS for WebGL textures: Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) enables Web developers to load textures from other domains for WebGL in a secure way.

• WebSockets updates: Firefox now prevents the use of plaintext
  WebSockets when created from an SSL page, which improves security for
  users.

• HTML5 Native Right Click Menu: Web developers can now add items
  directly to the Firefox right click menu using simple HTML5 markup.

• HTML5 media elements: Developers can add a lot of video and audio elements to a website without impacting performance
