    Here’s what’s new in Firefox 4:

    Fastest Firefox Ever

    • Performance: Firefox is up to six times faster than the previous release. With improved start-up and page load times, speedy Web app performance and hardware accelerated graphics, Firefox is optimized for rich, interactive websites.

    Streamlined Interface

    • App Tabs: give a permanent home to frequently visited sites like Web mail, Twitter, Pandora, Flickr.
    • Switch to Tab: easily find and switch to any open tab from your Awesome Bar without opening duplicate tabs.
    • Panorama: drag and drop tabs into manageable groups to save time while navigating many open tabs.

    Private and Secure Synchronization

    • Firefox Sync: access your Awesome Bar history, bookmarks, open tabs, passwords and form data across multiple computers and mobile devices.

    Most Customizable

    • New Add-ons Manager: easily discover and install more than 200,000 add-ons to customize the features, functionality and look of Firefox.

    Private and Secure

    • Do Not Track: Firefox is leading the Web towards a universal standard Do Not Track feature that allows users to opt-out of tracking used for behavioral advertising.
    • Firefox puts privacy first, fixing flaws in some Web standards to prevent others from accessing your browser history.
    • HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS): automatically establishes secure connections to stop “man in the middle” attacks and keep sensitive data safe from interception during the log-in process.
    • Content Security Policy (CSP): prevent cross-scripting attacks by allowing sites to explicitly tell the browser which content is legitimate.

    Cutting Edge Tools for Web Developers:

    • The JavaScript engine incorporates the new JägerMonkey JIT compiler, along with enhancements to the existing TraceMonkey JIT and SpiderMonkey’s interpreter for faster page-load speed and better performance of Web apps and games.
    • HTML5 support in Firefox includes hardware accelerated, high-definition video (WebM), 3D graphics, offline data storage, professional typography, touchscreen interfaces and the Mozilla Audio API to help create visual experiences for sound and more.
    • Firefox 4 also improves existing tools like CSS, Canvas and SVG to enable developers to make exciting Web pages.
    • Firefox provides uninterrupted browsing when there is a crash in the Adobe Flash, Apple QuickTime or Microsoft Silverlight plugins. If one of these plugins crashes or freezes, it won’t affect the rest of Firefox. Simply reload the page to restart the plugin.

    With an official post on the company’s blog, Google announced a major new version of Google Mobile app for iPhone with a completely new look, new features and a new name: Google Search for iPhone. The app packs all the functionalities from the previous version in a new UI, easily accessible for everyone and built on top of iOS 4′s multitasking and fast app switching capabilities.

    Second, we’ve made it easier to pick up searching where you left off. If you leave the app and come back later, you’ll be able either to start a new search right away (just tap in the search box to type, hit the microphone button to do a voice search or tap on the camera icon to use Google Goggles) or get back to exactly where you were by tapping on the lower part of the page.

    Finally, there are a number of improvements we’ve made to everything else you love in the app, including Google Goggles, Voice Search, Search with My Location, Gmail unread counts and more.

    Google Search for iPhone is a free download in the App Store. Check out the promo video below.

    At the SXSW event, Microsoft released its much awaited new browser, Internet Explorer 9.

    Internet Explorer 9 (IE9) is a radical shift for Microsoft, with a new focus on standards compliance and performance and built to handle the developing web standard HTML5, something that has put it at odds with certain Microsoft in-house technologies, such as Silverlight.

    The mobile version of Internet Explorer 9 is expected to launch for Windows Phone 7 later this year.
