What's New

Here's what's new in this release of Firefox:

    * New Default Theme

      An updated Default Theme now presents a uniform appearance across all three platforms - a new crisp, clear look for Windows users. Finetuning for GNOME will follow in future releases.
    * Comprehensive Data Migration

      Switching to Firefox has never been easier now that Firefox imports data like Favorites, History, Settings, Cookies and Passwords from Internet Explorer. Firefox can also import from Mozilla 1.x, Netscape 4.x, 6.x and 7.x, and Opera. MacOS X and Linux migrators for browsers like Safari, OmniWeb, Konqueror etc. will arrive in future releases.
    * Extension/Theme Manager

      New Extension and Theme Managers provide a convenient way to manage and update your add-ons. SmartUpdate also notifies you of updates to Firefox.
    * Smaller Download

      Windows users will find Firefox is now only 4.7MB to download.
    * Help

      A new online help system is available.
    * Lots of bug fixes and improvements

      Copy Image, the ability to delete individual items from Autocomplete lists, SMB/SFTP support on GNOME via gnome-vfs, better Bookmarks, Search and many other refinements fine tune the browsing experience.

For Linux/GTK2 Users

    * Installer

      Firefox now comes with an installer for Linux/GTK2 users. The new installer makes the installation process much simpler.
    * Look and Feel Updates

      Ongoing improvements have been made to improve the way Firefox adheres to your GTK2 themes, such as menus.
    * Talkback for GTK2
