Firefox 13 Beta

Firefox has been showing me update pop ups since a long time. I did update a number of times. But after a while I started ignoring those. I mean I updated almost every week but didn’t see any change in design or features. I got the following email a few days ago which drew my interest in it.

Without further ado, I downloaded Firefox 13.





Smooth scrolling is the only thing I like about this. Many add-ons are not supported because it is the newest version. The stable version which is 12 supports a number of add-ons which are unsupported in the Beta version.

I wouldn't recommend you to use this as your default browser as Beta versions are liable to all types hacks and blah blah. However you can use it to read comics, news, play games. Just don't use email, Facebook and other websites where you have to input your password.
