Mozilla Firefox 11.0 rilasciato

Marzo 13, 2012 Marco Giannini

Mozilla ha questa sera rilasciato Firefox 11.0, la nuova versione dell’amato browser del panda rosso. Questa versione si caratterizza di alcune nuove funzionalità interessanti, come la possibilità di migrare preferiti, cronologia e cookie da Google Chrome.

Altra grossa succosa novità è la possibilità, attraverso Sync, di sincronizzare anche le estensioni oltre che i soliti preferiti, password e cronologia. Funzionalità copiata da Chrome e ben gradita per chi vuole avere grazie a Sync tutto sempre sincronizzato fra i suoi computer abituali.

Le altre novità riguardano la gestione dell’HTML.

Ma vediamo le note di rilascio (in lingua inglese) di Firefox 11.0
