Firefox 13 released - with SPDY, new home page and tabs

A little more than a month has passed since the release of the beta of Firefox 13 , and today, finally, the final version has appeared. It is reported by TechCrunch. The most important thing in the new version is the long promised new home page and new tab thumbnails. In addition, Firefox now supports Google’s SPDY protocol, which promises to dramatically improve load times for sites that support it.

For the sake of improving the launch speed of the browser, Mozilla has disabled automatic tab restoration on a new launch. However, this function can be returned manually.

When you start Firefox 13, a new homepage is loaded, which allows you to quickly access the downloads, bookmarks, visit history, add-ons and settings. As in previous versions, the center of the page is busy searching from Google. When you open a new tab, Firefox 13, like Chrome, shows thumbnails of the most visited sites.

Overall, this is one of the most interesting releases of Firefox in recent months. A detailed description of all the changes you can find here . Official download links will appear tomorrow, but you can already download Firefox 13 for Windows , Linux and Mac now.
