Firefox 7 Available for Download Now
Another day, another new Firefox released!
Does it feel just like yesterday that you updated to Firefox 6? And the day before it Firefox 5? Well, today it's time for Firefox 7.
Today Mozilla released released Firefox 7 across all major platforms. According to Mozilla, Firefox 7 manages memory more efficiently to deliver quicker browsing experience. Promised performance improvements in Firefox 7 include: faster at opening new tabs, clicking on menu items and buttons on websites. Heavy Internet users will also supposedly enjoy "enhanced performance when lots of tabs are open and during long web browsing sessions that last hours or even days."
New tools in Firefox make it easier for developers to build snappy Web experiences for users. A new version of hardware-accelerated Canvas speeds up HTML5 animations and games in Firefox. This allows developers to build more compelling and interactive Web experiences like Angry Birds or Runfield.
Firefox now supports the W3C navigation timing spec API so developers can measure page load time and website navigation against bandwidth speed, website traffic and other factors. This API allows developers to test user experiences remotely and easily and quickly optimize websites and Web apps for different types of users.
To help improve future versions of Firefox, users can opt in to Telemetry. Telemetry is a tool built on Mozilla Privacy Principles that allows users to provide anonymous browser performance data in a private and secure way that they control.

This is like Firefox 4.2 to me. They need to stop this accelerated version release, it confusing to alot of users. There has always been major changes from every number from 2 to 3 to 4 which took few years each. Now we're on 7 just a few months after Firefox 4? WTF is all I can say..

Its basically because a separate set of idiots think Chrome is better because it has a higher version number. That said I don't see why anyone cares about version numbers. Mozilla should just do away with them. the program auto updates anyway.
They need to stop showing us that blonde in the pic or I will have a heart attack!

They were going to until people complained. Such as diagnosing problems on someones computer, knowing the version number in an accessible place can help.
