While version 4.0 has been in \u201cbeta\u201d for quite some time now, this is now the full release version. It includes some interesting new features, such as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>moving tabs to the top of the window (not an aesthetic that <em>I <\/em>particularly like, but somebody may)<\/li>\n<li>a unified stop\/reload button<\/li>\n<li><strong>\u201cApp tabs\u201d <\/strong>&#8211; for pages\/sites you always keep open<\/li>\n<li><strong>\u201cSwitch to Tab\u201d<\/strong> &#8211; great for <a href=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/author\/grant\/\">those who keep about 50 tabs open at any given time<\/a>, when you enter something in the URL bar that\u2019s already loaded, this goes to the already-opened tab, rather than spawning a new one.<\/li>\n<li><strong>\u201cPanorama\u201d<\/strong> &#8211; Another one for \u201ctab junkies.\u201d Allows you to drag and drop tabs into groups, helping you keep things a little more organized.<\/li>\n<li>There\u2019s also improved HTML 5 support and other \u201cunder the hood\u201d changes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Even though I, personally, tend to stick with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.apple.com\/safari\/\">Safari<\/a> for the vast majority of my Web browsing, I still keep an updated copy of Firefox handy; every so often, I\u2019ll find a site that pitches a fit over Safari, yet handles Firefox just fine. However, on the two <a href=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/Search\/Search.cfm?Ntk=Primary&amp;Ns=P_Popularity%7c1&amp;Ne=5000&amp;N=5836&amp;Ntt=parallels\">virtual machines<\/a> (Windows 7 and Ubuntu Linux) I have on my MacBook Pro, Firefox is the main browser I use.<\/p>\n<p>Many other people I know\u2014both Mac and Windows users\u2014use Firefox almost exclusively. Its popularity and cross-platform compatibility are just two good reasons to at least keep a copy around.<\/p>\n<p>You can get the latest version at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.firefox.com\">the Firefox Web site<\/a>. While the latest version doesn\u2019t appear to be supported on PowerPC-based machines, you <em>should<\/em> be able to get the previous version on the same page. Firefox seemed to render complex pages faster than Safari under 10.5 on a PPC Mac, so grabbing Version 3.6.15 may be a good option for you if you have a PowerBook or PowerMac still in regular use.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h5>OWC has no affiliation with this software and receives no benefit related to this support (other than a benefit we all share in the continued support of these applications).
