The latest Firefox beta jumps to version 6 and lands with improvements made to security, tablet appearance, memory management, and Android fixes. Download for Windows, Mac, Linux, and Android, Firefox 6 beta comes with a laundry list of changes made to both desktop and mobile platforms.
Some of the changes were included in the developer's Aurora release of Firefox 6, such as the built-in verification tool for plug-ins like Adobe Flash, better memory management for the Panorama grouping feature, a Chrome-style Scratchpad for testing out JavaScript snippets, and a new window for fine-tuning Web site permissions.

Other changes are new. One minor tweak, called domain highlighting, will help you read the domain of the Web site you're on more easily. This is a small but important change that people can use to visually verify that they are at the correct URL--for online banking, for example--as opposed to a spoofed one that's likely to be malicious.
