Overview
Firefox is a fast, full-featured Web browser. Firefox includes pop-up blocking, tab-browsing, integrated Google search, simplified privacy controls, a streamlined browser window that shows you more of the page than any other browser and a number of additional features that work with you to help you get the most out of your time online.

Firefox 7.0 Beta 1 brings a number of fixes to the memory footprint, particularly for users who like to keep multiple tabs open and iconify rather than close their web browser. Other changes include dropping http:// from the awesome bar and painting the sub-domain element of a URL in lighter grey and Bookmark and password changes now sync almost instantly when using Firefox Sync. Firefox 7.0 also support for text-overflow: ellipsis and web timing specification

Note: Mozilla planning to release Firefox 7.0 Final on 27 September 2011.
