Mozilla Firefox Version 30 Available!

Available version 30 of the Firefox browser. Very few significant innovations. What’s new for developers, with support for GStreamer 1.0, a library for the manipulation of media in different formats.

Modest changes in the new version of Firefox 30, released in the past few hours. Despite the version number of leave to think of a major update, I’m really just a few changes of substance.

The main new feature is the addition of a button ( ” sidebars ” ), viewable by invoking the customization features and that in turn allows you to call up Social sidebar, Bookmarks and History.

Mozilla has added support for GStreamer 1.0, a library for the manipulation of media in different formats attractive to developers. On the Mac, is now on the shortcut cmd + E that allows you to search the selected text (the text is copied and pasted automatically into the search field, called with cmd + F).

As regards the plug-in, with the exception of those series and those present in a ” white list “, will no longer be activated by default. As we have already explained here, the browser will not activate by default automatically, but many plugins, users who desire it, will have to activate them manually using a feature called Click-to-play.

Mozilla has created a list of Firefox plugins reliable: these are enabled by default, without specific requirements of the users. The plugins in the whitelist are supported for four consecutive releases of the browser, then it will be re-evaluated whether or not to activate automatically. Among the plug-ins are included in the whitelist QuickTime and Flash, as long as you have the latest available release.

If this brower is already installed, you can check for updates and download them by selecting the ” Firefox ” menu item ” About Firefox ” .
