Firefox 14.0.1 Final Available For Download

  • Google searches now utilize HTTPS.
  • Full screen support for Mac OS X Lion implemented.
  • Plugins can now be configured to only load on click. (requires an about:config change)

In Firefox 14.0.1, HTTPS is enabled by default for Google searches to help protect users from network infrastructure that may gather data, modify or censor search results. This feature also stops third-party sites from gathering search data when you click on items on a search results page.

For Mac users, Firefox 14.0.1 now offers native full-screen support of OS X Lion 10.7, providing "a richer and more immersive browsing experience".

Firefox 14.0.1 lets users control how plug-ins like Flash and Quicktime play through a new feature that can add a "play" button to all plug-in content; users can then simply click "play" to begin viewing immediately.

Firefox 14.0.1's Awesome Bar now auto-completes URL domains as you type them, potentially making the process quicker than ever.

Note: Firefox 14.0.1 Final will be officially unveiled on July 17, when it should also become available as an update to existing Firefox users.
