View more than one web page in a single window with this time saving feature. Open links in the background so that they're ready for viewing when you're ready to read them. Built with your security in mind, Firefox keeps your computer safe from malicious spyware by not loading harmful ActiveX controls. A comprehensive set of privacy tools keep your online activity your business.

Thanks to HALiD for the update.

This is probably the release with IonMonkey. If yes, then we will see a major performance boost. ;)

Running it right now, changed some options and running smoother than ever. It also implemented my bookmarks and stuff from Chrome, so installed FF and imported, removed Chrome. Seems to run better anyway with new improvements that you notice each release IMHO. :)

Ok, guys, fill me up on this one if you can. All this talk of 'Metro UI' on FF 18 and I get nothing :o It is set as the default browser, but all I get is a transfer to the desktop even when I launch it from the pinned 'Tile' on the 'Metro Start Screen'. :(
