After this week’s fairly dull Firefox 28 update<\/a>, which didn’t make any radical changes to the browser, Mozilla has now updated its beta channel to Firefox 29<\/strong> which includes the new Australis design<\/strong> and more new features.<\/p>\n

Firefox 29 also introduces the new Firefox sync<\/strong> with Firefox Accounts<\/strong> and there is a new customization mode<\/strong>. The former is similar to Google Accounts – you can easily sync your browsing data on any platform if you sign in to Firefox, and it’s a welcome simplification of the old system. Mozilla has improved the security of the data kept in your Firefox Account, including end-to.end encryption, a new system that protects against ‘man in the middle’ attacks and a new ‘Public key cryptography and the BrowserID protocol’.<\/p>\n

The new customization tool allows you to drag and drop functions, tools and add-ons anywhere on Firefox, so it works just the way you want it to. The new Australis design is a big change, with a softer, curvier feel, and an all new interface.<\/p>\n
