Firefox 6 Beta Is Now Available for Download‎ Here


Firefox 5 – the latest version of Mozilla Firefox doesn’t seem to be much interesting since there were not many new things compared to Firefox 4 . Meanwhile Mozilla has pushed out the Firefox 6 beta to the beta channel.

One of the visual changes included in this version is that, Firefox now highlights the domain name of the website you are visiting while graying out the rest of the URL. This can come in handy to users to quickly find a domain name and avoid phishing attacks.
