Mozilla Firefox is a free and open source web browser developed for Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux coordinated by Mozilla Corporation and Mozilla Foundation. Today Mozilla announced the release of Firefox 20.0 for all platforms including Linux, Windows and Mac OS. In this release Mozilla aims to increase User privacy and Security. Lets Look at the new features added to Firefox 20

New in Firefox 20

  • Per-window Private Browsing: This is same as Chrome's Incognito window, all you need to do is select "New Private Window" and new window will open without saving any search history, cookies, downloads or temp file.



  • New look of Download Manager which looks nicer than previous one.



  • Ability to close hanging plugins, without the browser hanging
  • New JavaScript Profiler tool
  • Continued performance improvements around common browser tasks (page loads, downloads, shutdown, etc.)

You can check complete change log HERE.

To install Mozilla Firefox 20 in Ubuntu 12.04/12.10 and Linux Mint 13/14, run the following commands in terminal (Alt + Ctrl + t)

Step 1: Add Firefox repository

Note: If your are using Ubuntu 12.04/12.10 you can skip the above step.

Step 2: Update sources.list
