http://www.anandtech.com/show/5669/mozilla-releases-firefox-11-with-chrome-migration-addon-sync-features
Firefox 11 will include a couple nice features. First is being able to import bookmarks, history, cookies, and passwords from Chrome (bit overdue). The other is Firefox Sync will finally be able to add-ons between your different Firefox browsers.
Still hoping Firefox makes it easier to add browsers to your Sync instead of having to pull up and enter long codes from like I'm trying to logon to an NSA website.

Let me guess? They changed the number 0 to 1 as the main feature?

"Major" version numbers of Firefox have become a non-event, but it's still upgrades.

It's available now.
PS. Just noticed Sync Add-ons not checked by default, so you'll have to go into Options and turn it on if you want it.

Just FYI, try the 64-bit version of FF - it is called waterfox. All addons should be compatible, settings are transferred automatically. It did get the ver 11 update too.
It amazed me how much faster than FF it is. Loads pages in the blink of an eye. I've used it only for a day now, but I love it.

Thank you for the suggestion. I'm using it right now and it does seem better than normal FF.

Same here, thanks. I tried Pale Moon before and wasn't impressed but this seems better already.

Thanks, giving it a try now. Haven't really noticed any performance difference. It is using more memory, but not a lot more. But since I'm on a 64 bit OS might as well use a 64 bit browser.

Not sure how much it matters, if at all, but they have links to 64-bit versions of flash, java and silverlight on their download page too. Maybe combining the 64-bit browser with 64-bit plugins helps some.. maybe not. I installed them anyway. everything works fine, and I still think it is much faster than my Firefox install.
I haven't compared memory usage between Waterfox and Firefox, but 64-bit apps generally do use more. Even if it does, as long as it is fast, it can use whatever it wants - that's why I bought the memory after all. hehe

I also downloaded all the 64 bit plugins and I do believe it makes a difference.

The 32 bit plugins might not even work for 64 bit version. I have run into issues on a few other similar things regarding 32 vs 64 plugins. I will give the 64bit firefox a try.

Installed Waterfox today. My Flash plugin is working, which I assume is 32 bit since it's the same plugin I was using with Firefox. All my extensions seem to be working.
And since I'm so used to Chrome now, I installed the FXChrome Theme as well. Wow, it looks exactly like Chrome now.
