Firefox 14 introduces support for the Metro UI in Windows 8, inline auto-complete and more
Firefox Beta is the build for those who like a little bit of jeopardy, but who don’t want to risk everything by trying out Firefox Aurora,
the early alpha build of Firefox. Firefox Beta gives you a sneak peek
at the next version of Firefox six weeks ahead of its final release,
offering a relatively stable build that’s not quite ready for primetime,
but still pretty solid.
Whereas Firefox Aurora installs as a completely separate application
alongside your existing Firefox installation, Firebox Beta will replace
the stable build. Should you subsequently wish to go back to the safer
version, you’ll need to manually download the stable version and install
it over the top of the beta build.
Confirm which build you have by selecting About Firefox from the
Firefox menu or button (it’s inside the Help menu if using the Firefox
button).
Firefox 14 is now in the Beta channel.
New features include support for Firefox within Windows 8's new Metro
interface, desktop apps and a panel-based download manager. Landed
features, including the inline auto-complete feature, are less visible,
behind-the-scenes in nature.
