What's new in Firefox 26.0 Beta?
Firefox 26.0 Beta includes the following:
Click to Play Plugins: Firefox will no longer activate most plugins by default. When a site tries to use a plugin, the user will be able to choose whether to enable the plugin on that site. Outdated plugins are a big source of security vulnerabilities so this feature will ensure users are safe and Firefox runs smoothly. The Flash plugin will remain enabled by default.
Firefox OS App Manager: The app manager is a new tool available in Firefox Beta, which provides a number of useful tools to help developers test, deploy and debug HTML5 Web apps on Firefox OS phones and the Firefox OS Simulator, directly from Firefox.
New in Firefox for Android Beta:
Firefox for Android Beta brings redesigned the startup screen to help get you to where you want to go on the Web quickly. The new start page is calling Home, gives users quick and easy access to their browsing data, including top sites, history, bookmarks, Reading List and a powerful search experience. It is now displayed in a simple set of swipeable panels which provide a much more fluid way to browse the Web.
Firefox for Android Beta also includes new search engines Bing and Yahoo! in the United States, Canada and France to give users even more choice of search providers with their browsing experience. You can easily change your provider based on your search preferences from the Menu under "search settings."
