While the big news in the latest version of Mozilla's popular open-source browser is the new built-in PDF reader, several under-the-hood improvements and new capabilities for developers are also present.
-
Performance improvements A pair of bug fixes should provide Firefox 19 with snappier performance and shorter load times, specifically on startup.
-
Built-in PDF reader Firefox users can say goodbye to the annoying experience of seeing the Adobe Reader splash screen come up every time they incautiously click on a PDF link, because Firefox 19 now has a built-in reader.
-
Canvas image blobs According to Mozilla's original announcement of the feature, allowing canvas elements to export their contents as image blobs is an important design efficiency improvement.
-
Remote Web console You can connect remotely to Android versions of Firefox or Firefox OS using the new remote Web console feature.
-
HTML5 CSS additions New support for CSS layout functions like viewpoint percentage length units, full-width text transform and @page have also been added for Firefox 19.
