Windows 10: Mozilla Firefox 63 beta comes with Windows 10 integration improvements

Today, Mozilla has kicked off the development of Firefox 63 and the beta version is now available. Firefox 63 web browser promises to improve Windows 10 integration, overall performance and address the general bugs.

First off, Firefox 63 is supposed to remove the Open in Sidebar option for individual bookmarks in the Library. The browser will warn users when they attempt to close more than one tab together before quitting the browser from the main menu.

The performance of Firefox on Windows is expected to improve as Mozilla will be using the Clang toolchain for the build infrastructure. Last but not the least, Firefox will be able to adapt to the dark or light theme that you may have enabled in Windows 10. This feature is also enabled in the Nightly build of Firefox.

Here’s what’s new in Firefox 63 for Windows:

• Improved Windows 10 integration: your Firefox theme now matches your OS Dark / Light mode.
• Firefox now warns about having multiple windows/tabs open when quitting from the main menu.
• The build infrastructure of Firefox on Windows moved to the Clang tool chain, bringing important performance gains.

Firefox 63 will be out on October 23, 2018, but you can download the beta version from the company’s official website. Firefox 63 beta is available for Windows, macOS and Linux

Mozilla Firefox 3 Beta 4 Released

Mozilla has released the 4th public beta version of Firefox 3. Here are a few of the updates packed into Firefox 3 beta 4:

• Full page zoom - Up until now, Firefox would let you make text larger or smaller, but there was no way to increase or decrease the size of all the content on a web site (something you've been able to do with Opera for years). Now you can choose whether the zoom feature works for text or full pages.
• New download manager - The new download manager shows active time remaining, and the status of downloads. You can also search your downloads and see the site where your downloaded files are from.
• Improved OS integration - Firefox 3 beta 4 includes specific icons and themes for Windows Vista, OS X, and Linux (using the native GTK theme).
• Improved memory usage

Firefox 3 beta 4 also includes a ton of other tweaks and bug fixes described in the release notes.
