Mozilla Firefox is almost the most popular Internet
Browser among the internet users. Mozilla is working really hard so
that it’s scheduled that there will be a new release every 6 weeks, and
it may change it to 5 weeks or less. The last release date for the
builds was 13 Oct 2011. Firefox 9.0a2 Aurora / 8.0b3 Beta / 7.0.1 Final were released some time ago.
Firefox Aurora 9.0 Alpha 2 ( ~15.28 MB ) and Firefox 8.0 Beta 3 (~14.6 MB ) can be downloaded from Mozilla Firefox Channel.
Well, That’s not all from Mozilla, there’s also Nightly Build. Another build like Beta and aurora, but mostly for developers. It contains some more features but also keep in mind that it’s normal to have some more bugs. Here are some of the new and interesting features i found about it.
1 – First Run >> Checking Addons:
Well,
it’s good that Mozilla knows about the importance of the first
impression, and since the addons update check is the first thing you see
after upgrading from your current build. Mozilla took good care of how
it looks , although you probably see it only once, the moment you look
at it makes you feel like it’s a built in browser or a browser that is a
part of windows 7 or vista.Unfortunately,
of course . not all addons will work on it. You’ll have to wait for the
developer of the addon to release an update for the new builds.That was
one of the main reasons why i stick for a while before doing a big
update for Firefox build.
2 – Web Developer Tools >> Inspect Element:
As usual, Mozilla seemed to enjoy copying features from other browsers. The most noticeable example is the Firefox Button ( which was first used in Opera ). Now Mozilla added a new feature that was in chrome since the very early builds which is the Inspect Element feature, here are some screens.
These two screens show the Inspect Element feature in action.

The first screen shows the Inspect Element
feature in the context menu ( Right Click Menu ) of the web page. The
second one shows how to get it from the tools menu. If the tools menu is
not shown. just hit Alt once and you’ll see it.
