14 DAY TRIAL // Only a couple of days after releasing the final build of the Firefox 37.0 web browser, Mozilla has now pushed the next major version of the application to the Beta channel. We were very curious to see what’s new, so we have downloaded Mozilla Firefox 38.0 Beta in order to report its new features and improvements.
Therefore, after a few hours of testing, we can tell you that the Mozilla Firefox 38.0 Beta web browser brings an all-new tab-based Preferences page, which will now open in a new tab, just like the Preferences page of the Google Chrome web browser. We posted a screenshot below to see what it looks like.
Another feature we want to mention here is the full support for HD HTML5 playback on YouTube for the Linux and OS X operating systems. As you might know, Mozilla Firefox 37.0 allows HD HTML5 playback on YouTube up to 720p on the aforementioned OSes, so the Beta version of the acclaimed web browser now allows you to play even 4K video clips on YouTube using the HTML5 web technology.
Reading List, activate tab sharing in a Hello conversions and more
Among other interesting features implemented in the Mozilla Firefox 38.0 Beta, we can mention the ability to share the active window or tab in a Hello conversation, and a brand-new Reading List that lets you track all your favorite blog posts and articles. We have been informed that the final version of Mozilla Firefox 38.0, due for release on May 12, 2015, will be based on the next ESR (Extended Support Release) release.
Of course, there are many other small improvements into the HTML5 support, as well as new tools for developers. You can download Mozilla Firefox 38.0 Beta for Linux, Mac OS X, and Microsoft Windows right now from Softpedia. We remind you that this is a testing (read: unstable) software and it is not recommended to be used on production environments.
