Firefox 34 is here and the update brings some major changes. First off, Mozilla has ditched Google<\/strong> as its default search engine. The company partnered with Yahoo<\/a> instead for its search needs, though users can switch back to Google at any time.<\/p>\n

Another big change is the way search is handled within Firefox. The new search menu<\/strong> lets you search quickly with multiple search engines<\/a> like Yahoo, Bing, Amazon, DuckDuckGo, Wikipedia, and more. In the past, you needed to download an add-on or toolbar to get this feature so it’s nice to see Mozilla bake it into the browser.<\/p>\n

Last but not least, Firefox 34 includes plugin-free video chat called Firefox Hello <\/strong>by utilizing a web standard called WebRTC. This means you can start a video chat with anyone running a browser that supports the standard, including Chrome<\/strong> (PC<\/a> | Mac<\/a>) and Opera<\/strong> (PC<\/a> | Mac<\/a>). If you don’t want to bother with installing Skype or a plugin to use Hangouts, then Firefox 34 is your best bet. While no plugins are required, at least one person has to use Firefox to initiate the video call.<\/p>\n

Firefox Hello is still in beta<\/strong> so you might not see it yet. To check if you have Hello, click on the menu button and then Customize<\/em> at the bottom. If you have Hello, the chat bubble icon will show up in the list to the left. If not, you’ll have to wait a bit longer for Mozilla to finish beta testing<\/a> the feature.<\/p>\n
