Firefox 4

Awesome Bar

Get to your favorite sites quickly – even if you don’t remember the URLs. Type your term into the location bar (aka the Awesome Bar) and the autocomplete function will include possible matches from your browsing history, bookmarked sites and open tabs.
The Awesome Bar learns as you use it—over time, it adapts to your preferences and offers better-fitting matches. We’ve tweaked it to give you greater control over the results (including privacy settings) and increased performance so you find what you need even faster.


Fabulous Fonts

Firefox supports open font formats like WOFF, TrueType and OpenType, meaning site designers are no longer limited to a select handful of web-ready fonts as they create their sites. Because Firefox makes sure to display and render type properly even if you don’t have the font installed on your computer, you can view a wide variety of fonts while you browse.

Better Text Rendering

Read your language as it’s written—more like real life. Our graphics engine renders Arabic, Persian, Punjabi and other script languages in a remarkably seamless way.




Spell Checking

A built-in spell checker works directly in Web pages, like blog posts and email. Save yourself a step and stop worrying about typos.


Session Restore

Session Restore instantly brings back your windows and tabs, restoring text you entered and any in-progress downloads. You can restart the browser without losing your place after you install an add-on or software update. And, if Firefox or your computer unexpectedly closes, you don’t have to spend time recovering data or retracing your steps through the Web. If you’re in the middle of typing an email, you’ll pick up where you left off, even down to the last word you typed.


Easy Search

The Web is a big place, but Firefox is ready to help you find whatever you’re looking for.


Stay in Sync

Sync seamlessly connects your desktop and mobile Firefoxes, so you can access your browsing history, passwords, bookmarks and even open tabs no matter which device you use. Access years of desktop browsing the first day you fire up your mobile, and use saved passwords from your desktop to fill out forms on your phone.


Tabs

Browse multiple sites at once, simply and easily. Each new site appears as a new tab
(not a new window) and can be accessed in one click.


Improved Interface

We’re always looking for ways to make your browsing easier and more efficient.
