El Fire fox (or the Red Panda as you prefer) continues with its usual rhythm and arrives with its version number 18 which includes some interesting news under the hood, which we can see in The Release Notes.
Firefox 18 arrives with a new compiler for JavaScript called IonMonkey, an engine of JavaScript Just-In-Time (JIT) which promises to be faster than its predecessor. Firefox 18 adds support for Apple's Retina displays on Mac OS X 10.7+, preliminary support for the WebRTC protocol, better image quality with a new HTML scaling algorithm, various bug fixes, and other new features.
You can download this version from Mozilla's FTP in various languages and for different platforms.
In osx nobody moves me on safari, not even google chrome xddd
Thank you very much for the notice, Updated on my Debian.
Luxury, sometimes I think because Mozilla has these releases so advanced and they are not updating it as they incorporate new features !. This way they would avoid releasing a new version every time they incorporate something new.
Anyway, Thanks for sharing!
Regards!
Hmmm, I don't know ... so far they go well, "if it works, why fix it?"
Let's see when it comes out of testing in Arch.
it's already in the extra repos
Hi, how do you update Linux Mint 14?
I don't know if it will be available via repository. That is why it is better for me to use tar.gz
Ready, in OpenSuse thanks to the Mozilla BuildService.
Debian Updated
If someone knows via repository to put it
Thanks and regards!
Hi . I don't know if anyone else has noticed that on certain sites eg Youtube, google drive, facebook, the rendering of the fonts is blurry?
I found this blog where they point out this same problem:

Until FF 17.0.1 everything worked and looked perfect.
(I use Xubuntu 12.10 on a Lenovo SL400 laptop)
Tested on archlinux. You can see the improvement in pages loaded with javascript code. Right now I hardly notice a difference with chromium in loading speed.
Although it is old news, it is now available in Chakra Bundles!
