Download Firefox 6.0 Final Version For Windows, Mac & Linux

As expected, after running the Firefox 6 for some time through the beta channel Mozilla has finally pushed the final version of the browser through the FTP servers. I have been using the Firefox 6.o through the beta channel for quite some time. One of the most noticeable improvements that you will experience as a user is the startup/boot speed that has been significantly enhanced. As a result it takes much less time for the Firefox 6.0 to boot from a cold start. Also, due to the internal optimizations by the Mozilla team and filling-in some memory leak holes memory consumption has been significantly reduced in Firefox 6.0. Other changes as we mentioned in an earlier article includes improved support for the HTMP 5 standards, CSS3 etc. Visually there are minimal changes. As for the developers there is a new “scratchpad” to test JavaScript in a live environment for quick prototyping.

Here is the changelog for the Firefox 6.0 (beta versions) as provided by Mozilla:

The address bar now highlights the domain of the website you’re visiting
