Mozilla has officially announced the release of Firefox 8 for Mac, Windows, and Linux.

Today, we're releasing an update to Firefox for Windows, Mac, Linux and Firefox for Android. This update includes new features that make Web browsing easier and give users and developers more control over how they customize their Web experience.

What's New:
● Add-ons installed by third party programs are now disabled by default
● Added a one-time add-on selection dialog to manage previously installed add-ons
● Added Twitter to the search bar for select locales. Additional locale support will be added in the future
● Added a preference to load tabs on demand, improving start-up time when windows are restored
● Improved performance and memory handling when using

I actually like the new version, it's kind of faster and so far is the best browser. http://www.456lock.com

Open a new window in Firefox 8. See how the tab bar is now below the address bar in the new window? And the add tab "+" button looks like crap. What's up with the inconsistency?
