Firefox 11 will include a couple nice features. First is being able to import bookmarks, history, cookies, and passwords from Chrome (bit overdue). The other is Firefox Sync will finally be able to add-ons between your different Firefox browsers.

Still hoping Firefox makes it easier to add browsers to your Sync instead of having to pull up and enter long codes from like I'm trying to logon to an NSA website.

Been running Aurora so long now I have not paid attention to FF.

Let me guess? They changed the number 0 to 1 as the main feature?

"Major" version numbers of Firefox have become a non-event, but it's still upgrades.

It's available now.

PS. Just noticed Sync Add-ons not checked by default, so you'll have to go into Options and turn it on if you want it.

Just FYI, try the 64-bit version of FF - it is called waterfox. All addons should be compatible, settings are transferred automatically. It did get the ver 11 update too.

It amazed me how much faster than FF it is. Loads pages in the blink of an eye. I've used it only for a day now, but I love it.

Thank you for the suggestion. I'm using it right now and it does seem better than normal FF.

Same here, thanks. I tried Pale Moon before and wasn't impressed but this seems better already.
