   Firefox 18

   Agen G. N. Schmitz

   Reaching voting age in record time, Mozilla has released [1]Firefox 18
   with the new IonMonkey JavaScript compiler, which Mozilla claims will
   improve the speed of Web apps and games by up to 25 percent. The new
   release also gets Retina display support (joining the already
   Retina-fied Safari and Chrome Web browsers) for those running Mac OS X
   10.7 Lion and later. It also adds 'preliminary' support for the Web
   Real Time Communication (WebRTC) open framework that enables in-browser
   video chat capabilities. Other changes include improved performance
   when switching tabs, improved image quality thanks to a new HTML
   scaling algorithm, a fix that disables insecure content from loading on
   HTTPS pages, and improved proxy responsiveness. Note that if you
   haven't opened Firefox in awhile and allowed the automatic updates to
   be applied, you'll have to go through multiple updates to get to
   Firefox 18 (our version needed to first jump from 16.0.1 to 17.0.1 and
   then to 18). (Free, 36.6 MB, [2]release notes)
