Firefox 25.0 Final Now Available for Download

Mozilla has released Firefox 25.0 Final for Windows, Mac, Linux and Android platforms. Firefox 25.0 introduces Web Audio API to manipulate and play audio assets on a Web page or application. In Firefox 25.0, the Find bar for searching inside a page is no longer shared across multiple tabs, allowing users to set up separate text searches for different web pages. It also offers to migrate data automatically from another browser.

Release Highlights
Firefox 25.0 includes the following:
  • Web Audio API brings some powerful new capabilities not possible with Audio Data API. Audio engineers can now build robust audio engines capable of outputting amazing soundscapes for people to enjoy. A few new features to highlight include positional audio and support for effects such as reverb, which can create immersive audio experiences on the Web, like never before.
  • The Find bar which appears at the bottom of all tabs when opened, no longer shares between tabs now.
  • If you go away from Firefox for months, you now will be offered the option to migrate another browser's history and settings.
  • The Browsing session no longer cleared with Firefox Reset.


Firefox for Android
Firefox for Android offers Guest Browsing to let you share your mobile device with friends and family without having to worry about them viewing your personal information like browsing history, bookmarks, passwords, form data or open tabs. Guest Browsing is designed to quickly and easily lock your personal data and provide your guest with a fresh new browsing experience.

Firefox for Android also helps you easily customize your Android device with your favorite photos.
