Mozilla Firefox 34.0.5 released, Available for Linux Fedora, Arch Linux, Chakra, Ubuntu, OpenSUSE, Mac and Windows

The Mozilla Firefox project is a redesign of Mozilla's browser component, written using the XUL user interface language and designed to be cross-platform, supporting Linux, Android, Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X operating systems. It is a fast, small and very easy-to-use web browser/navigator/explorer that offers many advantages over other similar products, such as the ability to block pop-up windows and the feature-rich tabbed browsing experience.

Features at a glance

The application offers a well designed graphical user interface that integrates search (powered by Google, Bing, Yahoo, etc.), and industry leading accessibility with Find As You Type - find links and page text by simply typing. As mentioned before, the Firefox browser features comprehensive pop-up controls, which will keep unwanted advertising off your desktop. A tab browsing mode will let you open several pages in a single window, allowing you to load links in the background without leaving the page you're on.

News for developers, Firefox 34.0.5 includes the implementation by the extension of TLS (Transport Layer Security) called ALPN (Application-Layer Protocol Negotiation) and new WebIDE for testing and editing web application accessible directly from the browser.
