More Firefox 5 Features And UI Mock-Ups Revealed

Firefox 4 is barely two weeks old, but details about the next edition of Mozilla's browser have already started emerging. Mozilla is tight-lipped about their upcoming release but new features can be deduced from some of the UI designs made available by the Firefox User Experience Team.

Firefox 5 will have tight integration with social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter, and other popular websites such as CNN and IMDB, as we saw earlier.

Firefox 5 main menu has also undergone a slight revision. The right pane of the menu is moved to the bottom. History and Bookmarks are also removed “since sites that are off of the main domain will open as new tabs in the main Firefox window.”

How to Schedule Changes to Your Facebook Page Cover Photo
